** I will leave this RAOK open for as long as necessary in order to get those postcards to my friend. SO, if you come across this in 2 months, know that you can still send them!**

Hi HCW Community!

I have a very special request to ask of you if you don't mind. I would like your help in sending postcards from all over to a friend of mine who is a teacher in Florida. She is trying to collect them for her students to teach them about geography. She had ask a dear mutual friend of ours to help her with this, and he complied by sending her one from Hawaii and then asking all of his Facebook friends to help her with this. This was the last thing he asked us to do as he took his own life last Thursday. My friend crusaded for charities and was always there when someone asked for his help and since this is what he wanted us to help him with, I am asking for your help in fulfilling this task for her.

If you choose to help with this, please post that you will, then PM me so I can give you the information you need. For every 10 people who send her a postcard, I will randomly chose 2 winners of a potluck envie to send out. You can only win 1 envie, but can have many chances to win depending on how many people do this. You can send as many postcards as you like though.

Please, if you say you are going to send the postcard, then make sure you send it! (we all forget things, trust me I know!)

I am asking you to help me with this because I know first hand just how amazing our community is.

Thank you in advance for helping!!!
