- Craft each letter with sincere wishes, a personal message, and a considerate question.
- Demonstrate empathy and kindness, connect with elders and help them realize that they are special and appreciated.
- The most meaningful part of the letter is where the you write about yourself - this is what makes each message unique and special.
- Avoid topics like politics, religion, and holidays to ensure a positive impact.
- We strictly protect the privacy of our writers and our seniors.
- Letters should be uplifting and addressed to a “friend” rather than a specific person.
- Your words will be read and cherished by elders who likely won’t have the physical ability or resources to respond to you.
- We offer numerous blogposts with ideas about what to write and how to decorate your letters.
- You’ll need to supply your own stationery and ensure adequate postage to mail your letters to our partner facilities, which are currently located in Canada, the US, the UK and Australia.
- We welcome employers, teachers, students, foreign language students, clubs, organizations, and writers of all ages.
