I have a big ask for the SigForum community to help me do something special please!!!

November 01, 2024, 07:17 PM

So a person I work with, at a different agency, has a wonderful mother who is so energetic and spirited and will turn 95 on 11/14/2024.

When she turned 90, her daughter asked for anyone and everyone to please send her mom a birthday card and her mom was so overwhelmed with joy at all the cards.

Now that she is turning 95, her daughter wants to do this again; even if it just general wishes from people who don’t know her.

I think a 95 year old woman who is a good person deserves to be FLOODED with birthday cards if that is what will bring joy to her at this age.

I ask that please as many people as possible mail a birthday card to her. I would love to flood her with cards!!

Send to:

Josie Castillo
663 Maria Elena
San Antonio, TX 78228

I would be forever grateful for those that do this.

Thanks so much. I envision “It’s a Wonderful Life” and lots of cards coming in instead of money. I think it will be great!

Thank you. Her daughter replied that she is diabetic, but doesn’t follow it closely and likes Belvita, almonds, etc.

If sending a snack, then send to:

1990 Salvador
San Antonio, Texas 78221

Also anyone can send cards to this address or the first one I gave. Her mom just moved in with her as she now needs to have someone around to watch her.

Thanks so much guys!

So cards can be sent to either:

Josie Castillo
663 Maria Elena
San Antonio, TX 78228

Or

Josie Castillo
1990 Salvador
San Antonio, Texas 78221

She is currently living at the latter address.
