Kids With Growth Hormone Deficiency

i was wondering if there was a way to set up pen pals that were going through the same health problems?

i have a 10 yr old daughter that has growth hormone deficiency she has been the same size since she was 5. she was just put on a hormone shot she has to take everyday til she is 16 yrs old.

i think it would be nice to have her someone going through the same thing for the support of a peer.

Wendy: I agree totally.. but have no idea how to find that pen pal! What I'm doing here is posting this request. The title of the page may help other kids find you... if they do, I will pass the info along to you!

Best Wishes! Wendy

p.s. You may want to buy the $5 pen pal list for your daughter to get her own pals. The beauty of pen pals, to me, is that they meet mind to mind... in letters. There are no visual distractions to change the friendly letters... meaning pen pals wouldn't treat her any differently than other pals. That might be refreshing to her... at least, until we find pals that cope with the same illness she does!
