Having goals and dreams can be life transforming!  Some are small while others are big.  Often these goals and dreams require a little assistance to come into being.  So, I am asking everyone to help with a young man’s goal.

A few months ago, I met Gabe.  I had helped him collect a few postcards mailed from different states in the US.  He met his goal of all 50 & was so excited.  He was even featured in a newspaper article. Gabe, now a second grader, has set a new goal – postcards from all the countries around the world.  He would like them to be postmarked from the actual country. Please send them to him at :

Gabe Murphy
441 S. Pershing St.
Wichita, KS 67218

One of my college friends have helped get the ball rolling mailing a postcard from Sweden.  Now I ask everyone to put out the word and mail him a postcard from other countries on our planet. Make a difference by making a dream come true! Together we can help this young man meet his goal.
