The diamond industry is a fairly tight knit community and we consider Price Scope to be an extension of that family. Therefore we’re asking all of you for a simple favor that will put a smile on the face of our daughter Niki who suffers from Fanconi A-Plastic Anemia and who may be in the final stages of her life.
This is NOT a request for money so please do not misconstrue the intentions of this request. This is not a post which we make lightly and we apologize for dropping it on to the general diamond forum of PS but we do so knowing that this is where it will receive the most attention...
In short, we’re asking you to send a funny card, postcard, or perhaps a note with a couple of stickers or a funny picture of your cat or dog or a newspaper clipping of something funny that happened in your home town to our daughter Niki who is terminally ill and who is fighting for her life. Essentially we’re trying to flood her mail bag with little things that will make her laugh. She has begun to receive cards from all over the country from friends and relatives and ‘friends of friends’ and it seems to have a very positive effect on her and it gives her something ‘new’ to talk about.
Please address your cards to:
Niki Jimenez
c/o Treasures by R.J.
P.O. Box 1094
Roseburg Oregon 97470 USA
We would love to see some postcards from overseas because Niki has always wanted to ‘travel the world’ but has truly been too sick to do so, your postcards will enable her to travel the world by another means.
For those of you unfamiliar with Fanconi A-Plastic Anemia, it is a rare disease which causes the bone marrow to shut off and stop producing red or white blood cells. For more information pertaining to Niki''s current condition, we have prepared this page we won''t be discussing her illness in-depth here on Price Scope.
We thank everybody for your support in advance. We probably won''t be spending much time on this specific thread because we can''t handle it, but we know that you''re all ''there for us'' and we truly appreciate it.
