Cards for Christchurch

It's been a terrible twenty four hours for Christchurch, New Zealand with a 6.3 Earthquake that has flattened the city and caused tremendous loss of life, hundreds of people are injured ... some severely, people have lost homes, possessions and some have no way of contacting their loved ones.
Our heart and prayers go out to those people affected. We hope and pray that there will be more survivors. Know that we want to help in any way possible.

The whole Design Team (some who have family and friends in Christchurch) want to do something and this is what we have come up with...

Victim Support are a group affiliated with the NZ police force and are trained in dealing everyday with adversity, helping and supporting people in need.
We thought they would appreciate some cards that they could write in and to take to victims of this devastating quake.
If you would like to do the same then you can send a home made card (blank inside with envelope if possible) to -


Victim Support
PO Box 2109
Christchurch
New Zealand


Thinking of you, get well soon, with sympathy or just a plain blank card would be appreciated.

Kia Kaha Christchurch we are all thinking of you.

  4. Awesome idea - I will get to making some cards tomorrow. Had plans to work on swaps for regionals but this is far more important.
