Trying To Lift A Child’s Spirits
Posted on 12/11/25 at 1:39 pm

I know of a young girl in the hospital whose mother is trying to lift her spirits by receiving a postcard, card, or note from every state.
If you are so inclined, please mail to:
Claire Schneider
MB 3 C/F PICU
St Mary's Hospital
1216 2nd Street SW
Rochester, MN 55905
Obviously they would take as many as they could get. But the states they are currently missing are Mississippi, Louisiana, Indiana, Kentucky, West, Virginia, Delaware, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Maine.

I’m flying into Boston tomorrow morning, driving through New Hampshire to ski in Vermont. If I can find postcards I’ll cover those three states.

That’s awesome. This is why I love the OT.

This is exactly the sort of positive thing I like

St Mary's in Rochester is original Mayo Clinic. Whatever is happening, she's in a fantastic hospital.

I am in Indiana, I will try to snag a postcard in the next few days, weather is going to be brutal though, it may be next week......any particular thing that would be good to write on it?

Consider West Virginia done.

Thanks for sharing this. My 5-year-old will be sending Claire a note (I’ll help with the spelling) with our best wishes.

I’m heading to the post office tomorrow to put an entire stack of Christmas cards in the mail. I’ll have the wife fill out another for her. That should cover Louisiana.

Is she a Taylor Swift fan?
I see TN is covered, but if she is I can drop some friendship bracelets in the mail with a Christmas card!

Just words of encouragement, let her know she’s being thought of and prayed for by so many people.
She is 8 years young and has Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS.
Thank all of you very much! So many times when I’m trying to lift up someone in need, it seems that’s when I really feel God’s grace.

My 9 year old put a note, Christmas card and stickers in the mail a few minutes ago so Louisiana is on the board.

How long is she expected to be at the hospital? I can get Mississippi in a couple weeks.

You’re fine. The staff has assured them they will make sure all mail gets to her.

Bump. You can check Kentucky off the list. Just stuck the card in the mailbox for her.
