WATCH: “Overwhelming” response to call for birthday greetings for Sarah

First Published:

A call to bring some birthday cheer to a young girl prompted an overwhelming response.

In mid-November, Norfolk County OPP Const. Ed Sanchuk put out a tweet asking for birthday cards for Sarah, an 11-year-old girl who has been diagnosed with cancer for the fifth time.

People from across the province, the country and around the world answered the call.

Sarah’s 12th birthday is on Saturday and Sanchuk will be delivering the thousands of cards and gifts with his own family.

Sanchuk says he has no connection to the family and found out about Sarah through social media.

There is a GoFundMe to help the family.
