A woman is asking that friends and strangers consider taking the time to send her 85-year-old mother a Christmas card.
Jane Gilbert posted the request to her Facebook page on Sunday. She explained that, while growing up, her home was always filled with cards because her mother, Doreen, loves them.
"One of her favorite things during the holidays is not the gifts or the food, it's checking the mailbox every day to see if, by chance, there is a Christmas card for her," Jane wrote.
Jane said that the cards have dwindled over the years because many of Doreen's friends and family members have passed on.
"If you can find it in your heart to send my Mum a card, even if you don't personally know her, it would let her know that she is not forgotten," Jane added.
If you'd like to send Doreen a card, here's the address:
