Ideas for letters when you don’t feel “good” at writing
We sometimes hear the words uttered “I’m not very good at writing”. We’d make the argument that everyone has something to give to a letter and it doesn’t always have to be your words.
Be inspired by other people’s words
Poems for example are excellent to share. They say so much in so few words and we each take our own interpretation. They are perfect gifts to send to loved ones or for our Donate A Letter campaign.
Choose your favourite poem and share. Here is one of our favourites:
TODAY - by Mary Oliver
Today is a day of
dark clouds and slow rain.

are so happy.

Some of us are incredibly talented artists - you may or may not be one of them! But either way, a little artistic expression can also be a beautiful gift for someone living with cancer. What’s the saying? A picture paints a thousand words… let the art do the talking, whether that’s something you’ve created or indeed a card that you spot when you’re on your travels.
Pop a little gift in
Envelope sized gifts can also bring a smile - be that a cross-stitched card or a pair of dangly earrings to give a dog a new look!
