Those who want to send cards just need to visit CHLA.org/VALENTINE, choose one of three card designs and provide their first name, last name, email address and a message. Senders can use the pre-populated message “Wishing you a very Happy Valentine’s Day!” or write in their own message. “We offer ideas as well because jokes are extra fun to receive,” says An example of one of the Valentine’s cards Wendi Kellaris, manager of CHLA’s is to bring a sense of normalcy to our Volunteer Services Program. patients,” adds Kellaris. “When special For example: events like Valentine’s Day come Question: What do you call two around and our patients see they are birds in love? getting valentines, just like their friends, Answer: Tweethearts! they are absolutely thrilled.
