I'm going to favorite this for tomorrow when my own little guy is awake and then we are going to make the heck out of a christmas card.
DarkEndOfTheStreet
I was at the Newcastle match today and 50,000 people stood and applauded the little man and his family in the 5th minute. Devastating.
FlatScreenNinja
Writing him a Christmas card now. Stay strong man
mindfunkie
Aww, we can do it.
Anotherunsuspectingvictim
This has happened before....the cards didn't stop for months after the kid died and the parents had so fucking much mail.
JaneCalamityJane
I sent him one with a picture of my new puppy wearing Christmas pajamas. This. Damn. I'll gladly donate a few years to this little guy.

I made a post about this yesterday and it died in usersub. Really glad this is receiving attention.

There is a child who is fighting cancer near me who also would enjoy some Christmas cards during his stay in the hospital over Christmas! :)

He's getting a card from me and my two daughters, from Sweden with love.
lasermonkey
you can gather money to send him abroad to see a specialist. https://bradleylowerysfight.org.uk
gebraheel
He made it to the US, got the treatment but the specialist declared his cancer as terminal recently. I'm sorry for the feels. :'(

Send the kid a card, find a cat, pet it, drink a beer.

I sent one from here too ♡
illumaknotty
@OP, can we get a complete address for this kid for people sending mail from the United States? As in, do we need to put "United Kingdom"?
Mattylight184
Are there special stamps for this
OSCgal
People are saying that 3 "forever" stamps will work for a letter. Some US post offices have 24hr kiosks that calc prices & sell stamps.

full address added now, thanks for pointing it out.
cutebunnies
Is his name Lowey or Lowery? His page says Lowey?
iamnotsurewhatsgoingonhere
Lowery.
gibsonguy77
Is it Blackhall Rocks or Blackhall Colliery? Or is there a difference?
iamnotsurewhatsgoingonhere
blackhall rocks. Shouldnt make a difference as long as the post code is correct
gibsonguy77
Ok awesome. Also I'm looking at some websites that send gifts and cards in the UK like funkypigeon. Are there others you would recommend?
iamnotsurewhatsgoingonhere
Moonpig is another big website for cards and gifts
ViezeVrouw
Just use the address as above and put England, United Kingdom at the end or something. Should get there fine with that

Is this in the UK?
iamnotsurewhatsgoingonhere
yes
coffeemakesmefeelfunny
Ok, but do I need to add something like, "United Kingdom, Europe"? I've never sent mail overseas.
OSCgal
"United Kingdom" or "UK" is all it needs. I've sent several cards/letters to friends there from the US.
CalebTheHusky
United Kingdom after the post code (zip code). You don't need to use Europe. I think the US postal service also recognises the acronym U.K.

How many forever stamps to mail from US to U.K.??
TheCumulativeHangoverWillKillMe
Someone above said 3 forever stamps
RadishIsAMeat
A comment above states 3 stamps.
NESwasBest
Can confirm, 3 stamps for standard sized envelopes
badgersnuffles
Are they actually called 'forever stamps'? Ours are called 'permanent' and now tgar feels like it lacks whimsy.
badgersnuffles
*that.
TheSadCafe
Yes they are!
naanuenuekoa
International forever stamps are 50¢. Same price for all destinations. (Just bought a booklet yesterday.)
illumaknotty
Thank you!!!
naanuenuekoa
Wait wait, $1.15. I am stupid. It was $11.50 for 10. And I heard 50¢ in the loud post office but obviously that doesn't make sense.
mindfunkie
I've sent letters to the Netherlands with just 2 stamps (forever stamps)
FantasmaFeliz
We use 3-4
IsThisUsernameAlright
I've sent postcards to the uk from the US with one stamp. I was told it was the wrong stamp however...
SirChadwellHeath
1 Global: The Moon international @ $1.15

Thanks for link, i now venture to google to learb how to mail stuff to the uk!
gebraheel
If you order from an online retailer and they have a post-code lookup, paste in "TS27 4BY" and it should list the house numbers. Pick #5.

I just had the same issue.

In the page it seems they are still collecting funds for a treatment. I hope it's so and there is hope.. but if it's his last wish.. :(
OSCgal
Hospice counts as treatment. Or perhaps it's a long shot.

I figured it was UK after the very European road name, town , postal. Poor little guy.
dildobiscuit
Ah yes. Those European sounding sounding road names. From Attlee Avenue to Champs Elysees.

Also post code is completely different than Americans. Using letters is for chumps.

Wooooow it is so weird seeing ppl from same hometown on this site!

Haha it is amazing. I do love this site. Never thought anyone liked it
lliandra
Hartlepool here also! Would it be weird to drop a card and small gift off in person do you think?
BlandNotBoring
It's something to make their son smile. I can't imagine that wouldn't make me thankful. I'm a mom.

Ditto :-) My son turned one recently. Id feel the same too I imagine! Thanks :-)
