You Can help us Make a Difference by Writing Letters
How you'll make an impact
A World With Friends is asking for kind, handwritten letters and/or cards to
mail to young people around the world.
Through this virtual card making and letter writing experience, you can do
your part to alleviate the effects of social isolation for children and young
people who live with a chronic illness.
The cards you make are sent / mailed to children across the globe.
Sometimes a small gesture can make a big difference.
What you'll need
- Stationary (or a blank piece of paper) and an envelope
- Pen or pencil
- Postage stamps
- Craft supplies and decorations (optional)
- Greeting cards (optional)
- Postcards from where you live
- You're welcome to use coloured pencils, markers, pens, branded stationery, lined paper, or plain white printing It's not about the stationery--it's the messages that are written that mean so much!
A few tips!
- Letters must be legible (large print) and handwritten. Make your card as
- what you'd like to receive.
- Avoid religion, if possible. Your letter should resonate with anyone.
- Exclude the date (day, month, and year).
- Embrace creativity! Recipients love it when the letters are personal. We encourage you to make your letters detailed, thoughtful and heartfelt.
- Be kind and thoughtful (more than talking about yourself).
- Envelope your letters if you can. If you're sending more than 1 letter, leave your enveloped letters unsealed and unstamped and put them in a larger envelope or box to send.
