I learned of this story at SGP….Hannah Garman is a 5 year old little girl who has been diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme, a rare and incurable brain tumor. When she was asked what she wanted for Christmas, she said she’d like to see how many Christmas cards she could get. What a simple request from this brave little girl! Please, help to make her dream come true. Send Hannah a Christmas card. If you’re active in a church or some other group, try to get them involved. This is such a little thing, that could bring such joy to this little girl.

I would not normally put this story on the front of the site, but this is a true story. It is a friend of one of my friends. Please help SGP make this little girl’s Christmas wish come true.
Many of you may remember my dear friend, Chris Garman, who lost her battle with breast cancer 2 years ago. When she was first diagnosed with breast cancer, she was pregnant with her third child. Her doctors didn’t think
Chris would live through her pregnancy without treatment, so they took a chance & gave her chemo while shewas pregnant. Chris survived her pregnancy & had a beautiful, healthy little girl named Hannah Faith.
Chris died when Hannah was three.Hannah is now five, and this breaks my heart all over again, but In October, Hannah has been diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme, a rare and incurable brain tumor.
She was given about 12 weeks to live. She was going to be the flower girl in a wedding in May, but was diagnosed A week after she was asked.
Right now she has lost most of her motor skills. She is confined to bed
And cannot really do anything or play with the gifts she is getting from
people, but she LOVES getting cards – she has gotten so many from people she does not know and jus t loves to have grandma read about the people who send Them and see their pictures and is so proud of all her cards. Her room is just filled with cards.When asked what she wants for Christmas she said she wants to see how
Many Christmas cards she can get. Many people have passed this wish along to their churches, prayer groups, friends and family. There are school groups
where children are making her cards. People are including pictures so she
can see who it i s that i s sending her the card.If you would like to help with her wish, please send her a card at:
Hannah Garman

OMG, another tearjerker. I will definately send her a card. My cousin’s little boy died of neuroblastoma at 4 years old, so I can totally relate to how the little things mean so much. I will pray for a miracle for Hannah and keep her in my thoughts, please keep us updated on her.
How sad that there are those like Hannah suffering.
I just want to say that I heard about Hannah on FM 97. I work as a CNA at Hershey Medical Center. I work in the Cancer Institute on the 6th Floor.I posted Hannah’s address around on my floor and had my manager email it to everyone I work with. Plus I went home and emailed my friend’s asking them to pass the story along. I was amazed at her story and it brought tears to my eyes when I read it. To be so young and all she wants are Christmas cards, not barbie dolls, or baby dolls or not even asking for the doctors to fix what is wrong just cards. I am keeping her family and her in my prayers and may God Bless them all through this hard time in their lives. To have to sit by and wanting to do more and just to have to sit and wait. I see this everyday I am at work. I love being with my patients, hearing their stories, letting them talk to get their feelings out and to be just their friend. I love all my patients and if there is anything I can do I do it for them to make them happy, to put a smile on their face, anything to make their time just a little better. Hannah, seems like a very strong courageous litte girl, I hope that her family and her never give up hope no matter what. God Bless Hannah and her family! I just hope that if she is ever here at Hershey Medical Center that I will be able to meet her.
God Bless,
Jessica Ressel
