[Request] Cat Cards/Loss of Pet [USA]

Hi friends, it's been about a month now since I lost my best furry friend. I wasn't ready to talk about it until now. It all happened so fast, I took her into the vet and two days later she was euthanized. Her name was Luna and she was one of the best things that happened to me - I had her for a short time, but she will forever be in my heart. I would appreciate any card you would like to send my way. My address is the same if you have it.

To claim, please have posted a thank-you within this or the last month and/or have flair! Message me your info and please title it as "Niagara Falls" or something of the sort so I can remember.

[Request] I'm getting married! [US]

Hello RAoC! After 17 years together, my partner and I are finally getting married tomorrow on Halloween! We’d love to receive some cards from this wonderful community to help us celebrate. Although I’ve always dreamed of a big, grand celebration with lots of people and me in a giant, puffy princess dress (I’m the youngest of 6, and all my siblings had extravagant weddings), life has taken a different turn for me. So we’re keeping it simple with a courthouse wedding, and it’ll just be my sister and his dad as witnesses.

In recent years, I lost my mom in 2020, which made it hard to imagine a wedding without her. I also lost my brother after years of trying to help him with his addiction, and now my oldest sister is fighting cancer. Supporting my family took a toll on my own health, and I was hospitalized for a while. To top it off, I lost my job in July and have been struggling to find a new one. Life has been humbling, to say the least.

Despite it all, this community has been a bright spot for me. The cards and kindness shared here have brought me so much joy when I needed it most. My partner and I want to end this year on a happier note so I would love to celebrate this special day with you. Your cards would mean the world to us!

Thank you for being part of our celebration!

u/invalid_crumb - thank you for this folktale in honor of my birthday. It's a lovely sad one.

u/sufficient_letter883 x 2 - thank you for the cute little hyena! An owl would be super cool. I'd also love a fox. I think I could get the fox integrated with my dogs to live together. And thank you for the Sarah Winnemucca card. What an incredible woman.
