Hannah’s wish<\/h3>\n

Emergency responders deliver Christmas cards to Lititz girl with cancer. Family now hoping for a medical miracle.<\/h4>\n

By CINDY STAUFFER, Staff Writer
\nLights flashing, they drove north through the darkness Thursday, a caravan of about 70 fire trucks, ambulances and police cars headed toward a small, red-headed girl in a party dress.<\/p>\n

Hannah Garman, 4, of Lititz wanted cards for Christmas this year. The little girl, who has brain cancer, opens some of the cards brought to her by a caravan of fire trucks and emergency vehicles Thursday night. With her is her sister, Brittany.<\/p>\n

Hannah Garman, 4, quietly watched them pulling into a parking lot. She was lying on a litter just outside an ambulance, her pink shoes poking out of a white sheet.<\/p>\n

Hannah, who lives in Lititz with her dad, brother and sister, recently was diagnosed with a fatal form of brain cancer. Her mom, Christine, died from cancer two years ago.<\/p>\n

Hannah’s wish for Christmas this year was to get lots of cards.<\/p>\n

That wish went out in an e-mail late last week. Her family believes it was sent by someone who knows them but they are not sure.<\/p>\n

It would be an understatement to say that Hannah’s wish has been granted.<\/p>\n

Within days, cards began trickling into the Lititz home of her grandparents, who are helping to care for her. The trickle became a stream, then a torrent, then a flood of hundreds of cards from all over the world, as the e-mail spread over the Internet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Merry Christmas Hannah, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.<\/p>\n
