What is the MACS website about?

The stories of courageous kids that you'll read on this website will touch your heart. Here, kids with life threatening illnesses are featured monthly.

All we ask of you is to mail a nice card to our Featured Kids of the Month. If you can also afford to send a small gift that would be wonderful!

You can also check out our Previous Kids section and send cards to kids who have been featured in the past, they also look forward to receiving mail.

Featured children are not the only ones who benefit from the mail. It touches the whole family! Even the children's young siblings end up receiving their own mail!

Some kids are too young to really understand where the cards and gifts are coming from, but it makes their parents happy to know that strangers they never met, care about their child and are sending their love and support.

~ ~ Your Cross ~ ~

The young man was at the end of his rope. Seeing no way out, he dropped to his knees in prayer.

"Lord, I can't go on," he said. "I have too heavy a cross to bear." The Lord replied, "My son, if you can't bear its weight, just place your cross inside this room. Then, open that other door and pick out any cross you wish."

The man was filled with relief. "Thank you, Lord," he sighed, and he did as he was told. Upon entering the other door, he saw many crosses, some so large the tops were not visible.

Then, he spotted a tiny cross leaning against a far wall. "I'd like that one, Lord," he whispered. The Lord replied, "My son, that is the cross you just brought in."

When life's problems seem overwhelming, it helps to look around and see what other people are coping with. You may consider yourself far more blessed than you imagined.
