The family of a 10-year-old Vermont boy who is facing multiple surgeries wants to see how many get-well cards he can get.

A Cards For Jacob Facebook page says the cards would boost Jacob's spirits as he goes through the surgeries. While Jacob currently keeps the cards he receives in a shoe box, his family wants to make a collage on his wall as he gets more.

UPDATE Jacob will be having his surgery the week of March 14th and will be in the hospital for 1 week, home from school...
