A pen pal asked if I'd heard of More Love Letters.
The World Needs More Love Letters is a global organization combining the power of social media with the art of letter writing to handwrite + mail love letters to people in need around the world.
Every month, they feature stories of individuals from around the world who’ve been nominated by loved ones to receive letters.
These are everyday stories of people facing the tough stuff that comes with being human– loss, grief, sickness, heartbreak, mental illness, bullying, and other circumstances.
You get the chance to read the stories, write some love letters, and send them off to the listed address. At the end of the month, your love letter will be included in a bundle of hundreds of letters from around the globe.
I joined and wrote to two of the people on the list. This makes Sunday my "letter writing day." I also write letters to Letters Against Isolation. This group fights senior loneliness one letter at a time. Through handwritten messages of love, hope, and joy, our volunteer community brings seniors connection and improves their mental and physical health.
Every other week, we will send you a portal where you can sign up to send letters to any of the care homes in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, and Israel that we serve. You’ve got the fun job of writing as many letters as you would like to! You can write about whatever you would like, but remember that these letters will be brightening days; try to make them cheerful, and be creative! Do not include your phone number or anything else that would identify yourself and do not send gifts.
I usually write 5 letters a week to people who are receiving Meals on Wheels. And then I write to my Compassion Int'l sponsored kids. And if there is time, I answer pen pal letters!
