I Want To Cheer Up People With Life-Threatening Diseases So I Send Them Cheer Packages (19 Pics)

I've always wanted to make people happy. Last March, I came across an Instagram account to support a young girl who was battling neuroblastoma and messaged her mother asking if I could send them a cheer package. When the girl received the package, her response was the sweetest and cutest thing. I knew I wanted to make more.

I sent a couple more cheer packages and then decided to make this into an actual organization - Caroline's Cheer Packages. I created an Instagram, GoFundMe, and Facebook page. Donations were slow for a while, but I continued sending out packages.

Recently, the Instagram account @globalpositivenews posted about Caroline's Cheer packages, and I was interviewed by the group Hashtag Our Stories. That publicity resulted in over $1,000 in donations. I have been blown away by all the support.

So far, I've sent out almost 19 packages, and I have many more that I'm currently working on. In the future, I hope to register Caroline's Cheer Packages as an official 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in the state of Maine.

For every package, I ask the recipient what their favorite character is. I draw that character on the card and weave a friendship bracelet in the color scheme of that character.
