Help wanted..niece has RABIES!

ok its a long story but the bunt of it is that a skunk got into a litter of kittens my niece had in her home and killed 3 of the kittens..then the skunk ran off..well not knowing that he had ra bies my niece Ruth who is only 5 yrs old picked up the kitten that remained ok...there was

3 left..well the kitten bit her on the finger and it was foaming at the mouth a little and she didnt know it then and so mom went and got Ruth out of there and called animal control..they did tests on it 2 weeks ago and yesterday the results came back with her having rabies..she took 4 shots yesterday and she is horrified of this process..although its something she must do until Aug. 18th everyday. They say these shots are very painful and for a 5 yr old to have to endure them is just heartbreaking to us all. I want to try and take her mind off of the reality of it all..the family is so upset and they are now testing the remaining animals in the home and we are all hoping that nothing shows cause prior to the symptoms showing themselfs the cat was contagious a week before the signs..so now we all worry and fear for the children remaining which is 4 of them..ages 1yr to 4yr... so what im trying to do right now for my niece Ruth is send her a care package of well wishes for getting better..something positive to look at while she has this done to her each day.. I was wondering if anyone would like to make a KIDS postcard to Ruth just to let her know that we all want to see her better and to send her happy thoughts her way.. Something cheerful, silly,goofy kind of post card im looking for to make her smile a little.. If you would be interested in sending a post-card please write your state and name on the back so she can know how far away everyone is caring about her.. i then plan to string them all together like a banner for her room and send it along with some stuff i will gather for her...if you can do this: Please contact me at : snipped-for-privacy@webtv.net for my address.. Thank you so much for listening to my story...i so appreciate it.. hugs.....chatty cathy

ps... Im hoping to send this package out to her by the end of the month..so as soon as you can get me the post cards if you can.. thanks again..
