A wonderful idea for anyone who knows a prisoner!
I don't start posts often, but this just floored me. Check out this story from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer:

<snip> "Prisoner starts new line of greeting cards

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WICHITA, Kan. -- Brenda Guiden was having trouble finding greeting cards for her two brothers in prison.

"I didn't find anything appropriate, as far as what I wanted to say," Guiden said. "They said a little bit, but they really didn't touch home the way I wanted them to."

The thought of creating greeting cards for inmates initially started as a joke, she said. But by December the idea had developed into a new business." <snip>

The website for the greeting cards is: http://www.prisonexpressions.com/

Here's a sample - this lady has a sense of humor, and true compassion! If you know of anyone who has a loved one in jail or prison, let them know about this. The cards are not cheap, except for prisoners themselves, but the idea is worth supporting.


Inside: Don't you think
You need to write
more?!

Love You


Pass it on, fellow sympathizers!
