When I was eleven years old, my life changed forever when I got a serious disease. My life was 1 with operations and treatments. I felt stressed because I was really uncertain 2 everything that was happening.
One day, I was receiving my thirteenth operation in the hospital. Being away from my friends and school was causing me almost as much 3 as the operation itself.
During that hospital stay, I received a card from a volunteer. That simple 4 meant much to me and gave me hope again during my time of need. I'll never 5 the way I felt after that small act of kindness. I started creating an organization called Cards for Hospitalized (住院的) Kids.
The charity began with a simple dream of giving 6 , joy and magic to those kids. It later 7 a national organization that sent cards to over 5000 sick kids at more than 50 hospitals across the country.
It is hard to believe that an act as simple as a card can do so much good, 8 it does. Seeing a picture of a child 9 one of our cards with a huge smile makes us keep this wonderful charity alive.
10 might provide medicine for these sick kids, but we provide that little bit of hope and magic that'll go a long way.
