Oh I wish I could help somehow but Im so new to this and have almost no pins at all. Its my daughters who collects and they have a history of way to much time spent in hospital so I know the feeling. Just give her a hug from me. Maybe me and my girls can send her a get well card from Sweden? Might be fun to have. Please pm me your adress and we will se what we can do.
 
What a beautiful story and act of kindness. I unfortuately do not collect Rapunzel, but I hope your wonderful act can be "paid forward" in some way. Karma does come back around!!

I'm sorry, I don't have any pins to give. I have only just started collecting. I just wanted to say, what a lovely person you are. Made my eyes all glassy. X
 
I have no Rapunzel, but it sounds like you are more than covered! Much hope and pixie dust to you, your wife, and your new friend!

OK most of you know my wife has melanoma. I usually have to work when she visits MD Anderson in Orlando for her checkups,tests and results.
Well I was off on her visit in January. She assured me it wouldn't take long and we could go and walk around the Magic Kingdom after the visit.
So I grabbed my lanyard and put it around my neck. We got to MD Anderson around 9 am and as we sat in the waiting room she made a comment about having to wear my damn lanyard everywhere.
I honestly forgot it was around my neck. The nurse called her name and she asked me to stay in the waiting room. Not a problem.
While I was sitting by myself a little girl who was maybe between 7 and 10 came over to me and said Hi. I said Hello back and her mom called her and told her to stop bothering me.
I smiled and said it was OK to her mom. I could see her beautiful blonde hair was starting to fall out from her Chemo treatments.
She smiled and pointed to my 4 princess rack pins on my lanyard. She told me her favorite was Rapunzel because of her long blonde hair.
I asked her if she really liked the pins and she smiled and said she was hoping to go to Disney to see the princesses but she was too sick.
She told me she had Cancer and was loosing her hair to get better. I was trying my hardest not to start crying right there. I took all my princess pins off my lanyard and gave them to her.
I told her those were her badges like Russell in Up. Those were her bravery Badges. She ran to her mom who was crying and showed her her new Badges.
My wife came out at this point and was wondering what was up. I told her I would tell her after we left.

Turns out that the little girls name is Jazmine and she will be in the hospital till the end of March when her treatment is finished. I have been back to see Jazmine two more times all while my wife is taking care of herself.
I have traded or tried to trade for anything Rapunzel but we all know here how that goes. Jazmine now has 26 badges all princesses but still only the 2 rack Rapunzel pins. Anyone here feel like cheering up a special little girl with some Rapunzel pins?
I don't know who to turn to or ask. I figured here is as good as a start as any. If you want to help please PM me.

UPDATE

After several packages were recieved at my house, I went through them all and brought all of the goodies that the nice folks here at DPF sent to Jazmines mom. Jaz was in treatment when I was there and was expected to take a few hours of nap after. I gave the stickers books and pins to Mom and she was shocked and started crying. She couldnt believe that complete strangers would do such a thing. Then i told her more were expected and still on the way from as far away as the Netherlands. She about fell out of her chair. She said thank you from the bottom of her heart and was at a loss for words. I gave her everyones address that sent me something . She said that her intention is to send a thank you to you all when she gest or finds the time. I told her to focus on Jaz and that i would tell you all Thank You for her and Jaz. I did recieve a email from mom saying that Jaz was in sticker and princess heaven. She has close to 40 pins (or badges) now thanks to you all here.

Mom and Jaz say Thank You and I want to say Thanks for helping me Help this incredibly Brave little Girl.
