Respect and admire the Carrs for what they've done with the ChadTough Foundation.  Trying to help others in the face of such horrific adversity.  We should all be so #ChadTough.  Sending a card seems like a small lift, go do it.

I'm all for sending Chad Carr all of the cards and all of the love, but does anyone know if there's a way to do something similar for other Mott patients?

I know you can give a bear, but I didn't see anything on their site about sending something like a card.

I found this on the Mott website:

I have a class or group that wants to make cards for the patients for the upcoming holiday? Do you accept those?

No, we do not give out traditional cards to children, but if you are looking for something children can make, we can use decorated bookmarks that can be laminated and given to children as part of the Giving Library. Also, we do accept some artwork from area elementary and middle schools to display in window boxes around the hospital. In either case, we request items be upbeat and cheerful and not say anything about being sick, getting better soon, etc. Call 734-764-6874 or e-mail [email protected]for more information.

Teens are an often ignored population in children's hospitals. If you're looking to make an impact, ask if there's anything you can do or buy for Mott's teens and tweens. (Ideas I've seen include video games, fancy coloring books - the kind aimed at adults, nail polish, and higher end craft supplies.)

This x100. Recently rolled out 360's in all the rooms and the only game selections at first were $5 low budget kiddy games. Call about donating your old 360 games or new in package high end coloring books intended for teens/adults, nail polish, etc. The little things like that make a huge different when the teens are stuck at mott for 2 weeks at a time over the holidays.
