Not sure what to write?

Sometimes our letter writers don’t know where to start - and that’s ok! Here’s a sample letter you can directly copy and then post to us at our PO Box address. If you feel like adding anything to make it your own, you can do that too.

Hello,

I don’t know who you are, what you’re interested in or how you are feeling today, but I do know how it feels when someone holds out their hand to you in the dark. This letter is me reaching out my hand to yours.

I hope you are comfortable and warm (very underrated I find!) and I hope this letter gives you something to brighten your day. Be strong and continue to be amazing. You matter to everyone who knows you.

My very best wishes.

From me to you.

Every letter we receive is so gratefully appreciated. From short, succinct letters like this, to long illustrated letters with crosswords, puzzles or poems included.

To some of our letter recipients, they remind them they are not alone. To others, they are a lifeline.

Whatever letter you donate, your impact is huge. Thank you.
