Support and encouragement for a Pre-E mom who had additional health problems?

Hi everyone, I decided to try my luck at writing on here after I was inspired to start a Facebook group (Cards for Carrie) for my mom's cousin-in-law.
Carrie was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia and gave birth to her beautiful baby boy Eli at 36 weeks. Eli was doing considerably well, and after several days Carrie was released from the hospital.
The day after she was released, she suffered a grand mal seizure, and then later 2 additional seizures and a stroke.
She is now a first time mom who just had a preemie, and is now dealing with some very difficult health issues of her own as she now has no function of her left arm/hand.
I started collecting cards from friends and family, and then extended my project to friends of friends....and then later to anyone at all!!
I am collecting cards, prayers, notes of encouragement, pictures and colored pages from kids, small giftcards, and anything at all to help encourage her and give her strength and hope.
If there is anyone at all on this page/board that would consider sending a card, please message me and I will give you my address. Once I have filled my box with cards, and well wishes, I will be mailing it to her down in NC.
Please just mark your envelope somewhere "Cards for Carrie" so I know what it is.
