92-year-old Nancy Letham usually receives only four cards around the holidays as her friends have gotten older and died.
After an online appeal was posted late this October, though, Nancy has received around 50 cards a day, including from schoolchildren in Portugal, who drew pictures for her.
Nancyâs granddaughter Leo Sheppard posted the appeal, expecting to receive around 40 cards from neighbors in Fife, Scotland where the family live. Now cards are coming in from India and the States, from Canada and Australia and Italy and Spain.Â
