We are a non-profit with a mission to build community by creating space for genuine connection through handwritten messages. We provide free materials, stamps, a mail drop, and send the cards out the next day.
Beyond raising awareness, we are inspiring a world full of unexpected acts of kindness that reduce human isolation.
A note from our founder, Alexandra: “I love writing and receiving letters – it’s a way to feel connected to someone when I’m not physically with them. Words from the people I love—who sent me cards during a hard time — reminded me of who I am, and they still do today. I want others to give and experience this same stamp of sunshine on their hearts, too.”
