EdwardCullen.Net: A fan needs our help!

OK, when I first read this, it pulled at my heartstrings immediately.  I knew I had no choice but to share this with you.  Once you read it, you will understand.

Edward-Cullen.net was contacted in seeking help for a patient who is a big fan of Robert Pattinson & the ‘Twilight‘ saga.  Everyone via Twitter is doing what we can via tweets & blog, so now you can do your part, too!  If you personally know anyone who has contact with Rob or any of these actors, this is pretty important.  This is one of the few times I’d ask you to help out like this.  I know they’re all super busy and have other things to do, but it’s always nice to be reminded of what you do for a living affects someone’s like, what you do makes a difference.

We’ve already discussed the big o’list of ‘Twilight’ Twitter-ers, but these are ones I could think off the top of my head!  I can only assume that these actors all have some kind of contact with Rob currently as they are filming ‘Twilight Saga: Eclipse’ right now:

  • @PeterFacinelli
  • @AshleyMGreene
  • @Billy_Burke
  • @GilBirmingham

Check out the awesome autograph she received!

I’ll have to admit, when I saw what he wrote her, I gasped LOL  Did anyone else have that kind’ve reaction?

 

From EdwardCullen.net:

The letter below says it all. It is a ‘thank you’ letter to Robert Pattinson from a very sick fan, and she also thanks Peter Facinelli. We received it in an e-mail from one of the workers at Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital, and we were asked not to divulge too much information due to safety reasons. Plus I don’t think I could accurately shorten everything that was in the e-mail we received, plus keep the same emotion I had while reading it.

ECN realises that Rob has a fan mail address, and this letter could be sent that way. However, we don’t know how long it will even take for Rob to get this letter, if it was sent by mail. However, I’m thinking at least two or three months, maybe more. Once you read the letter below, you will see why we hope Rob or Peter sees this letter as quickly as possible.

There’s a one in a billion chance that Rob or Peter may even read this letter. It may be a long-shot, but at least ECN can say- “We tried.” It is our hope that Robert Pattinson or Peter Facinelli will read this letter. It’s very beautiful and touching.

Our plan is to tweet Peter Facinelli, in hopes that he will read the letter and perhaps pass it on to Rob. What we are asking of our Twitter followers and Twitter users in general is that you please help us retweet this! This is the Twitter message we plan to send:

Letter for @peterfacinelli & Rob- Childrens Hospital NYC PLS READ #thanksfromfan >> http://edward-cullen.net/thanksrob.php

Any help at all is greatly appreciated!!! Also, if you tweet, and let us know that you did, we will add the URL to your to the page with the letter.

Letter from Fan via Edward-Cullen.net:

Dear Rob,

I recently received the signed New Moon book that you autographed for me in NYC while you were filming Remember Me. The wonderful ladies at the Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital Fund especially Ms Chris and one of her friends spent alot of their own personal time and effort in getting this for me after contacting Ms C from Remember Me. I will always be truly grateful to them for this gift.

I can’t thank you enough for taking the time out of your busy life and schedule to sign this for me. It means more to me than you will ever truly know.

I am not sure how much you were told of me, but my name is Ms. MS and I am nearly 24 years old. I have a very rare lung disorder that causes my lungs to collapse at times without any notice, and from the damage done to my lungs it has left me on oxygen nearly 24 hours a day. I can only take it off about 1 hour a day and a large percentage of my time is spent in a wheelchair as I can only walk short distances. They tell me my only other option is a lung transplant, scary right? This is a decision that I will have to make at some point but they tell me it will only give me an extra 5 – 7 years and well I just dont know. Anyway these are the breaks that life sometimes gives you.

You see, I was lucky enough to win the Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital raffle. They have looked after me since I was 16 years old which is when I first got sick. Anyway, one of the prizes I won was based around ‘your favorite film and movie stars.’

My wish was to try and either meet some of the Twilight stars especially you or go to one of your movie premieres.

Ms Chris from Morgan Stanley was trying to organize for me to come and meet you on the set of Remember Me in NYC this summer. I live in VB, but due to the timing, having to get everything worked out and the time to get clearance from your producers it was not meant to be.

I still am most grateful for the signed book from you. I will forever cherish your kind words as it gave some hope and that maybe one day things will work out for me, too.

I also wanted to tell you that Peter Facinelli (Dr. Carlisle from the Twilight series ) was at my local mall here in VB a few weeks ago as part of a Red Cross Blood Drive.  How lucky was that right?

I got all dressed up made an effort and got my best friend to take me down to the mall wheelchair/oxygen and all . I waited for a few hours in order to see him and what a nice person he is even though he had been signing autographs for hours.

I had the pleasure of meeting him, taking a photo with him, and getting his autograph. I took my oxygen off and walked up to take the photo and I was shaking from my nerves I am sure he wondered what was wrong with me? .

I wanted to give him this letter and ask him to give it to you but I felt a little embarrassed and he was very busy. There were hundreds and hundreds of people lined up waiting to meet him.

I love how you both are so dedicated to your work and your fans. I have attached a picture of the book you signed for me in the summer and also the picture of Peter so you know that this letter is really the truth.

I would appreciate if you could acknowledge that you received this if by chance it actually gets to you.

You seem like such a nice person and I wish you all the best in life.

Again, I can’t say thank you enough.

With Love,

Ms. MS

* If you wish to contact Ms. MS, you can contact ECN.  They will pass on the message for you, or they will put you in contact with someone who does have contact with her. You can e-mail them @ admin@edward-cullen.net or by using their contact form by clicking here.

* * Morgan Stanley asked that ECN not reveal Ms. MS’s real name & address due to safety reasons and just in case people she knows might come on any Twilight blogs.  So, they didn’t use her real name and have slightly blurred parts of the photos they sent them for her privacy.

So, you have read it now! Aren’t you moved?! You know you are! Do your part and spread the word!!!!
