Can You Spare a Stamp?
- Special Request for Christmas Cards
A friend of mine that is a life-saving crew member in Bedford County emailed me a request and asked for our help within the State Police family.
There is a 5 year old boy from Rustburg, Virginia that is dying of terminal cancer and he might not live to see Christmas, His special request is to receive Christmas cards from police officers, firefighters and EMS personnel.
I would appreciate if you could take a few minutes our of your busy schedule and grant Nathan's wish by sending him a card.
Cards can be mailed to :
Nathan Norman
81 Dunivan Drive
Rustburg, Virgina 24588
There are links at the Snopes.com page. If you have a spare moment and a stamp, we're sure he'd like to get a few cards from Chicago.
UPDATE: Some asshole or assholes are claiming Nathan passed away two years ago. His grandmother just posted on his page 6 hours ago that Nathan is continuing treatments at this time. So we can only conclude that you must be a real winner during the holidays. What we wish upon you and your ilk will remain unspoken for the time being.
To those of you more in the Christmas spirit, continue please.

God bless Nathan.I'm sure as heck going to send you a card.
Sent to my father-in-law with Frederick PD auxiliary. Poor kid...God bless him.
always remember, we all bitch, but someone always has it worst than us. God bless this boy, and lets all be thankful for what we have this holiday season. Merry Christmas to all of you.
Done and done!
After Nathan's card, go right to St. Jude's website. He's not the only child that needs our help and support.
-fellow cancer fighter.
We just found out my wife has cancer. If this is all the little guy wants, then he'll have it. God bless him and his family.
This is the only reason I have some pride in our profession.
Day Lt. in 019 went and got a ton of cards and a paid postage box. Everyone there was filling them out. If youhave kids, go give them a hug.
My 'package' went out on 5 Dec. for
Nathan.
Make sure that, if applicable, you indicate that you are CPD.

Life can be so cruel and unfair... Card sent!
Some of these requests turn out to be BS, but what the hell. I'd rather be punkd than wrong.
Sending a cpd shirt to the little guy. God bless u little "n" and may god save you this christmas many prayers sweet boy.
I contacted their info center, the address is 81 DUNIVAN DRIVE, not DURIVAN DRIVE....please post so our cards and gifts go to the right place. Thank you
I bought a large card and had everyone from the district sign it. We sent it a few days ago. I called a Cop from Virginia to verify this, and it is verified! The street address is DUNIVAN, not durivan.
Consider it done.
Will do!
scc, can you verify if this is legit? I would like to send out alittle more than a card to this boy. If you can hook me up with someone in the know, I will gladly provide my info to whomever. Thanks.
Done.....Took a minute to make a little man's wish come true....
Lets overwhelm Nathan with Christmas cards! I couldn't think of a simpler gesture to put a smile on a child's face. ESPECIALLY at Christmas.
Lets show him the men & women of the CPD have a soft spot for children.
GOD bless you Nathan....

To your wife and to you, God's blessings, love and healing prayers. And very special Merry Christmas wishes to you both and to your family. Godspeed.
God Bless little Nathan and the fine men and women on the CPD who are sending this little tyke cards.
It breaks my heart to think of a child who is so sick. Prayers for his family and the CPD Officer whose wife was just diagnosed with cancer.
I verified it with the Virginia State Police , it's real. Also, there's more info if you snope-it.
I sent a patch and 5 bucks,
f me i sent a box full of memoriblia and mailed it to Durivan,hopefully the united states postal service can make the correction i sent it priority 2day
Im sending him McGoof,Little kids love Clowns.
great Idea for this child. Why don't his parents get him an email account. There is plunty of free free sites to send him a card from. I mean besides the snail mail.
Who ever stated he died two years ago did not read all of "snoops" IOt stated he was stricken with the cancer two years ago. now he is going to die.
When people ask "why did God allow this to happen?" I respond,an angel suffers to see how the good of others CAN come out. You have all proven my point.
Well i hope my gift gets to the right place even with the wrong street name. ...
God bless this child and all those suffering from incurable diseases. As we can see the suffering of even one child affects us all. Let us all be grateful for the wonderful people in our lives and cherish every moment of life God has granted us.
Our CPD SWAT Team just senthim a nice card and a CPD SWAT PATCH.
