I have a favor to ask.
Just over a month ago, Megan entered the hospital to give birth to her first baby. After routine blood work they discovered that Megan has AML which is Acute Myeloid Leukemia. After holding her newborn baby for a very short time Megan was taken to a local cancer center where she has been undergoing very aggressive treatments to save her life. She has had two rounds of chemo and is preparing for a bone marrow transplant.
Megan is married to a friend of my oldest son Logan.
September 5th is Megan’s 27th birthday and her husband has started Operation Get Well Card in hopes of Megan receiving over 2,000 birthday cards.
I am asking that we each take a few minutes out of our busy lives today to help this sweet new mother. Please send Megan a card and some kinds words that will help strengthen her as she fights for her life. Thank you! I know Megan and Ryan will appreciate it too. Please add Megan to your prayers too!
You can read more about Megan and her fight on their blog or join her Facebook page, Prayers for Megan. for regular updates.
Megan’s address as the hospital:
Roswell Park Cancer Institute
Megan Smith 5W rm 14
Elm & Carlton Streets
Buffalo, New York 14263
would be happy to do such a small thing as send a bday card. our prayers are with her for treatment for her cancer and for her sweet new baby!
I’m always up for being an encourager and for prayer cover. Moving forward with it now. Thanks for sharing.

I am going to try to do this-I am definitely praying for her!
This is a wonderful idea. I will be sending a card and many prayers Megan’s way.
Wow… !
Two cards sent (Elliott, my 3 year old insisted he wanted to color and send his own card)… along with lots of love and positive thoughts from Spokane

What an amazing couple. With tears in my eyes the card was sent along with many prayers of gratitude.
Thanks for the heads up for such a worthy effort. What a heart-wrenching and yet inspiring story. Thanks for sharing…cards will be sent!
Will do– she is my age. I would love to do what I can. It may be a little personal- but if you have a second to e-mail me back… I have had some disheartening blood tests with the last two pregnancies but nothing this severe has come from them (yet). I am wondering what the blood tests were? Thanks.
Prayers being said and card in the mail.
How shocking that is to find out you have Leukemia and especially right after you just delivered a baby! My prayers are with Megan. I’ll have her name put on the Denver temple prayer roll too. Card sent today.
I will be making a card today. What a devastating thing to happen. I cannot imagine…so sorry to hear about this, I just said a prayer, and I will continue to pray for them and the doctors who treat her.
The card will be in the mail very soon, and prayers being lifted!
Almost a year ago my beloved younger brother died from Mantle Cell Lymphoma after a year long battle and difficult cancer treatment. My heart aches for this beautiful young mother and absolutely my prayers will include her as will my fast this Sunday. Cards too will be sent, thank you for giving us this opportunity to lend comfort, support and spiritual requests on her behalf.
Hoping for your speedy recovery. May you get to hold that precious child sooner than you think. May prayers give you strength.
