Default MADDY MASON RAK REQUEST

Many of you I am sure have been touched my Maddy Mason's kindness. Maddy has not been very active on SCS since April but many of you know her well. She's a very fun and wonderfully encouraging person here at Splitcoast.

Maddy has just been diagnosed with breast cancer and at this point is still waiting for test results to be able to move forward with treatment. She should be hearing tommorrow or Monday on the results of some tests.

I have posted a link to her gallery here....

http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...0&ppuser=14323

Bring up one of her cards, look at her avatar and I know you will recognize her. Maddy is a wonderfully talented stamper and I know she would enjoy receiving lots of card, well wishes, hopes and prayers from all of her SCS friends.

Please pm me for Maddy's address if you would like to brighten her day. She deserves it!

Thanks everyone!
Cindy

Update on Maddy:

I spoke to Maddy last night. She recently had some tests done to determine if the cancer was Stage 4 and had moved into her bones. She received test results yesterday and sadly those results showed some hot spots on Maddy's spine. She will be seeing more doctors on Monday, more tests, more uncertainty. Maddy is going through a very, very difficult time right now.

She does have family supporting her but she lives in an area that is very remote and she is not close to friends. She has no one to have lunch with, visit with, confide in.....She can only converse with her friends via internet and e-mail.

We will know more in a week. Thanks for helping Maddy to feel connected to her friends by sending her cards, prayers, and well wishes.

Thanks for the update Cindy. I always wonder when a fellow Splitcoaster is absent for a time. I adore Maddy and will send some happy mail filled with hugs and prayers.

Cindy, this is so hard to read, I feel sad that one so young and vibrant and beautiful and artistic is struggling so hard for life...I love Maddy's cards, just adored the bear one she did not long ago...I hope she can feel connected through this thread and reading these posts. Maddy, I am praying hard for you...just try to take it one day at a time, and let us know how you progress!

Vicky, thank you so much. In my phone conversation with Maddy that is the one thing she did say.....Quote: Well, I guess there is always miracles! How nice that you are encouraging others to send cards through your post. It will make a difference I know!

Cindy, I don't know much about Maddy other than, that a lot of people have been wondering about her for a while/ I do however understand being remote and alone and ill. Prayer is the most powerful encouragement one can offer during a time like this. For her friends and family too! My prayers are for hope, peace and understanding. And a card will be in the mail.

Hugs and prayers for Maddy. This is so tough, and I can't even begin to imagine what she's going through. I think we need to swamp her mailbox with hand-crafted love -- that should lift her spirits at least a little. Cindy, I will pm you for her address.

Ann...how wonderful that Maddy is receiving card from another direction, from your group! I hope that she truly is receiving lots of wonderful cards. When I spoke to her the last two evenings, she said she is getting cards daily. How wonderful....thanks to all of your in your group for taking the time to brighten your friends day!

Sent a card out yesterday and will continue to lift her up in prayer. I wish she had someone in close range that could help her out, she certainly needs a shoulder to lean on right now. Thanks for the update.

Hi Cindy - such sad news for a person to bear - but there is always hope and the physicians skill - and friends praying is a very strong medicine! I will keep her in my prayers and wait for you to send me her address.

I sent mine last week. Maddy is such a sweetheart; I hate the thought of her having to deal with this. She's in my thoughts and prayers daily.

YOU, my friend, are a sweetie for starting this thread. I hope Maddy gets flooded with cards from SCSers and finds strength and encouragement from them.
