Doing something nice for someone else makes my heart happy. And it makes the other person happy as well. That’s a two-for-one deal I can feel good about all day long!

In Queen Creek, Arizona, there’s a young boy named Jacob who loves getting birthday cards – because they make him smile.

“It’s amazing. I don’t know how to explain—it’s heartwarming,” he said

This year, Jacob has a wish – to receive 100,000 birthday cards. He also wants to create awareness of mitochondrial disease, the illness that drains his energy and keeps him bed-bound.

Jacob turns 15 on August 28th this year. Let’s help him reach his goal of 100,000 cards. It’s not a lot to ask.  His address is:

Jacob Priestley

P.O. Box 855

Queen Creek, AZ  85142
