Hi,
I wanted to share with the forum the project we do with the postcards we receive. I am a caregiver for a 20 year old man with cerebral palsy and we needed an age appropriate fine motor activity for him. Postcrossing gave us the answer.

What a marvellous project! I hope one day to see this at the postcrossing blog! What a great example of activities to do and learn with Postcrossing!

I love seeing the unexpected ways Postcrossing can help people in all sorts of different situations, whether social or medical. The hobby can bring so much to all of us. Thank you for sharing this.
Like others, I’d be more than happy to send a card from Sweden. Just let me know in a PM if you would like me to.
This is awesome. What a wonderful way to enjoy this “hobby” and learn and use motor skills. Along with others, I too would be honored to send a postcard. Send me a message if you would like one from South Dakota USA. You truly are an incredible person and this your man is very blessed to have you as his caregiver!
I join the choir in singing your praises and thanking you for the difference you make! As a speech-language pathologist, I applaud your efforts because there is also so much language and cognition that goes into each of these postcard pages. You are building his world knowledge so beautifully. I would love to contribute to your work with a postcard from New Mexico. Please PM me.
