Ellwood City Girl Battling Organ Rejection Receives Overwhelming Amount Of Valentine Cards

ELLWOOD CITY, Pa. (KDKA) -- One Ellwood City girl's Valentine's Day request for cards was granted and then some.

12-year-old Kyree Beachem is battling organ rejection, years after a multiple organ transplant.

Having been in and out of the hospital countless times over the past few years, she had a request on Valentine's Day.

Since she couldn't be in school, she really wanted to be able to receive Valentine's cards in the mail.

It's safe to say that her request was granted.

Kyree received so many cards and so much mail that the post office needed to pack her mail in its own separate bin.
