The Postcards for Mom Pranksters

and Julia (who's mom is overseas):

I have a mum, Christine, that would be perfect for the Postcards for Mom-thing. Even before you put the idea for an overseas mom up, I'd thought about how good it would be to do this for her.

Let me tell you something about her. She's 55, I'm her only daughter (I'm 28) and she never married - she wanted a kid but not a husband, basically, that's the short version of the story. Anyway, since my birth she stopped working to take care of me, and ever since I was 9 years old she's taken in 22 foster kids (in 15 years). She never stopped caring and I love her so much for showing me how important it is to care for other people who have little, even though she's never had much either.
When she turned 50 she decided she was too old for foster care and applied for a "normal" job again, and now she's working as an administrative assistant in a small theatre. She hates her job at the moment though, as the new boss is an asshole, but when you're 55 it's not that easy finding a new job, so she has to sit it out probably.

My mum is very modern, she loves popmusic and cinema and also loves to travel even though she hasn't got enough money to go very far. She also loves getting mail, so sending her stuff from all over the world would be wonderful. I know she'd love it, I also know she wouldn't suspect me and she'd share everything with me. I live very close to her and speak to her every day, so I know I'll be seeing those postcards...

I can give regular updates, I'd love to in fact. I'm a writer myself so writing an update wouldn't be too big a task for me, and I'm on the internet daily so no worries there either. I know I've enjoyed your updates (sorry Rick isn't updating that much) and a big part of the project are the people that send the cards, and they deserve to know what's happening.

Best wishes,

Julia
