The other day on Spread Change I made a plea for everyone to get the word out about Tangobaby and a woman named Kelaya who she is trying to help.

Please go read the story with these links: original story and the latest update

One of the things Tangobaby is asking for (besides basic survival necessities) is letters of encouragement. On the update page she talks about this and gives an email address where you can send notes that might uplift Kelaya’s spirit. If you can manage some time, please send a note.

Our new friend Erin Delaney has a friend who is in the hospital and who could use a “boost”.

Can you spare some time to write a note and get a few friends to write notes too? She will be in the hospital for a while probably and could use some mail to keep her busy.

Read the whole story about Charlotte Lewis at Erin’s site.

Mail can be addressed to:

Charlotte Lewis
C/O Erin L. Delaney
R. 1220 South Prospect Street
Nanticoke PA 18634

Also, please repost if you can.

Do you feel like writing a celebrity? Over at Spread Change, I’m asking people to send a note telling John Tesh how great he is for making the site Intelligent Kindness. If you feel like sending him a little note, you can wander over there and get the info.

The lovely and kind Mama Jamz pointed out to me the heartwarming program called Chemo Angels. This organization connects chemo patients with “angels” who send them weekly letters and small gifts in order to support them through the difficult experience of fighting cancer.

One must apply and be approved to be an angel, but what a fabulous program. If you’ve got the time and resources, I’d encourage you to apply. Think of the difference you could make! If you CANNOT join, then go over there and at least read the program and tell ten friends. Or send them a note of encouragement to tell them how awesome they are.

There is also an additional program you can find out about while there — the Senior Angels. This is the same type of program, but you would be writing people in nursing homes or those who are housebound. I wish I had known about this program when my grandmother was in the nursing home!

Mama Jamz, thanks again so much for telling me about this!
