From Garrett's mom on Facebook:
PLEASE HELP US. We are using this a tool for several things for Garrett. We work on his skills for opening things when he opens mail. He also gets to see where it is from on the map. (honestly he doesn't really understand distance as you read further down you will see why) Then we also write thank you notes and he gets to sign them so he is very involved and he get them when he gets up to go to school which has been a very hard adjustment for him this year.
Even if you can't send a keychain then a postcard or letter (which I will read to him) will make his day.
Garrett doesn't get to travel alot. He is special needs and traveling can be a huge under taking.He is equal to about 3 to 6 year old depending on what he is doing.
He is in a wheelchair and is non verbal. But the happiest kid. (except when you mention the "school" word lol)
He loves trains!!!! snow globes and merry go rounds. would be lost without his ipad. it also has a small program that sort of talks for him.
we are working on the USA map we are missing a few states but getting close. Garrett sees the map and everywhere is 5 hours away (yes even New York from Texas) So we have been working on collecting and yes we mean collecting. We love all of them and we will post on here the pics of him getting his mail :) He smiles and loves to open every
envelope. Please try to help.
In all fairness I must say that yes I did start the collection because I love them but because the map is in the room that Garrett goes all the time he loves to look at them and play with them and he loves maps. So it is something we both love.

this is an
update from the above original request:
Yes we are still collecting key chains of any sort. We are just about done with the USA map that we have but please if you want to send us your state or city etc feel free. For we will still put them on the map and video him opening your package. We are working on the world map and just in general key chains.
BUT Garrett loves any mail. Even just cards or notes. It doesn't matter. He loves anything and gets so excited when he sees he has mail. He is getting more than mom and that includes the bills lol.
