Christmas Card

I found the story about this little girl and it tugged at my heart. I can't even begin to grasp how much this sweet little girl and her family have been through. Parker and I are going to make a Christmas card for her today and send it off. I though I would pass the information along to all of you too.

A 4 -Year-Olds Christmas Wish

Hannah is 4 yrs old and was diagnosed in late October 2008 with a rare and aggressive cancerous brain tumor called glioblastoma multiforme. To date (November 20) she has had 2 surgeries to remove the tumors. She is in therapy to work on her walking, which has been effected by the tumor. She has frequent headaches from the pressure on the brain. She is on steroids to help with the inflammation, which is causing her to gain weight rapidly. The doctors have given Hannah 2-3 months to live without treatment and approximately 11 months with radiation. She needs a miracle! Hannah's father's name is Darin and she has two older siblings - Brittany and Jordan. She has 3 sets of grandparents, 2 sets of great-grandparents and a large extended family and supportive church family. Her mother, Chris, passed away several years ago from cancer. Please pray for the family as they deal with cancer in the family once again.

When asked what she wants for Christmas she said she wants to see how
many Christmas cards she can get. Many people have passed this wish along
to their churches, prayer groups, friends and family. There are school
groups where children are making her cards. People are including pictures
so she can see who it is that is sending her the card.

If you would like to help with her wish, you can send a card to her at:

Hannah Garman
704 Orchard Rd
Lititz, PA 17543

THANKS! Feel free to pass this along to your own prayer group, church,
school, etc. Let's see if we can have the cards coming in big postal bags
for her this Christmas.


Let's help fulfill Hannah's Christmas Wish. You can follow her progress at the website below.
