The snow is falling and once again Sue Simpson of Kamloops is asking everyone to send Christmas cards to her son Jessie.
Simpson says she has requested cards over the past three years because it gives them something to do together in Jessie鈥檚 care home.
鈥淪ome years we got 300 to 500 cards for Jessie and he absolutely loves them,鈥 Simpson said.
Jessie spends most of his days living in a care facility after being attacked with a baseball bat in 2016.

Over the summer, Simpson was able to bring Jessie home on weekends for the first time since the attack, but the slick roads of winter will prevent Jessie from being home for Christmas.
鈥淚t鈥檚 something to do for him when it鈥檚 cold out and it鈥檚 yucky and he can鈥檛 do much else.鈥
Simpson says Jessie loves cards with jokes, bright colours, and fun pictures.
Cards can be mailed to:
