**This Father’s Day greetings card marketplace thortful.com is working with Cards

> “I thought about creating Cards to Heaven after losing my Dad. His loss was so
> painful, and I felt it so much during special times like birthdays, anniversaries
> and especially on Father’s Day. I wanted to write a card to my Dad and had nowhere
> to send it.
> “It saddened me to send a card which I then put on a grave, to see it destroyed
> by the rain before being removed. I didn’t think I’d be alone feeling like this
> and Cards to Heaven was created. The Facebook page is a visual memorial to remember
> these very special Dads, where you can send a physical card and have the message
> to your Dad displayed.”

The new Starling Wood will be created by planting 8,000 trees, creating a bio-diverse
woodland which will become a home for many species of birds and other wildlife as
well a place of refuge for the local community. We don’t aim to stop there, as the
project will go even further than just creating a new woodland.

Completion of the project “will lead to the raising of £90,000 that will be donated
to hospices and health related organisations that support those in the community”.

Deputy CEO Emma Scott from Life for a Life said:

> “Working with thortful and Cards to Heaven has given the Starling Wood restoration
> even greater meaning, helping to turn the pain of loss into something positive,
> especially on a special but sometimes difficult day like Father’s Day”.
