This story will make anyone smile.
Addie Fausett, a terminally ill 6-year-old girl from Fountain Green, Utah, made a simple Christmas wish about wanting to know that she had friends. Thanks to thousands of people, her wish came true.
In hopes of making Addie’s Christmas very special and memorable, her family began a Facebook campaign asking for people to send Christmas cards to hang in her room and boy, did she get a huge response! Since Thanksgiving, Addie’s sisters have hung 3,000 cards in her room and in one day alone, 100,000 cards were received by the family.
According to People:
Addie, who stopped growing when she was 3 due to a mysterious and still undiagnosed illness, isn’t expected to live much beyond another year.
She can’t play with anyone besides her two older sisters, because her condition occasionally causes her to lash out with uncontrollable scratching and biting.
The site continues:
Born healthy at a normal weight, Addie didn’t start showing symptoms that something was wrong until age 3, says Tami. “She suddenly stopped growing and nobody could figure out why. She became shaky and fell a lot, and by the time she was 4, she was completely off the growth chart.”
We pray for Addie’s well-being and wish her and her family a joyous Christmas!
