MACS = Awesome (No, not the computer kind)

Putting a smile on a kid's face is one of the most rewarding things you can do in life....especially when that kid really needs some cheering up. Can you imagine what it would feel like to be a child with a chronic, life-threatening or terminal illness? It must be so scary and awful. I bet they feel really sad and isolated sometimes, too. Don't you wish there was something you could do to help a child like this? Wait, there is! If you'd like to make a positive difference in the life of a seriously sick child, then read on!

There's a Web site. It's called MACS, which stands for Make A Child Smile. Go to http://www.makeachildsmile.org/ to browse the profiles of the many courageous sick kids on there who would be thrilled to receive a card or small gift from you letting them know that someone cares about them and is thinking about them and wishing them well. This is a totally simple way to help a very sick child feel happy and special, and I bet it will make you feel happy and special, too!

Helping sick kids feel better is a win-win situation, and win-wins are ALWAYS good news for everyone involved!
