Child living with Cancer Desires Christmas Cards from Emergency Personnel

**VERIFIED**
There is a 6 year old child in Rustburg, Virginia who is living with cancer. His special request is to receive Christmas cards from police officers, firefighters, and EMS personnel.

We are THANKING EVERYONE! But we are asking to PLEASE hold off on sending Nathan anything more until further notice. Their house is filled with boxes of gifts and cards. He would love to have Christmas all year long, so let's see if we can do that for him! The family is so grateful and thankful for everything you are sending.

Please sign Nathan's at http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/nathannorman/guestbook or you can post a message on our Facebook. The link is below.

    Hi there! I am very touched by your wish and have asked everyone I know who is involved in the jobs that Nathan loves to send him a card. I have also asked them to take photos of themselves with their cards in uniform. I am wondering if you'd like to private message me an email address where I could email you the photos for Nathan. I own a cancer related charitable business KissOffCancer & I have also posted Nathan's wish to my FB page & asked all of my followers to reach out to their friends to try to flood Nathan with as many cards as possible. I hope he gets more than he can count! :)
