Amber Dougherty is a 13 year old from Tyrone, PA and is suffering from Severe Intractable Epilepsy, with a sadly grim prognosis. According to an email sent by a family member, the doctors don't expect for her to be with us next Christmas. Since Amber likes to receive mail, her family is organizing a card drive so that Amber can get mail from all over.

Amber Dougherty 2766 Bald Eagle Pike Tyrone, Pa 16686

Please take a minute and send this little girl cards. Every minute that she is opening and reading a happy card is a happy minute she might not have had, otherwise.
