Janet
Nominated By:
Her Granddaughter
The Story:
Janet recently moved into a nursing home for memory care. Each day is a new day to her, as she struggles to remember past days or weeks.

Let’s fill up that mailbox and remind Janet that she is loved and not forgotten during this transition.

Christine
Nominated By:
Her Sister in Law
The Story:
As a retired postal worker, Christine loves letters and is known by her family as “the best card sender”. Unfortunately, Christine is in great need of letters of her own. Her husband, Mark, died on February 21, 2024 after a year of treatment for Glioblastoma. One month later, to the date, Christine was diagnosed with B-Cell lymphoma in that same oncologist’s office. She is starting treatment which feels like the perfect time to wrap this letter lover with some love letters of her own. Join us this month in writing love and support to Christine.

Alex
Nominated By:
A Family Friend
The Story:
Alex is a bright 16-year-old student athlete, loving brother, and community volunteer. However, his life has taken an unexpected path. Several months ago, Alex contracted an infection that damaged his heart, and he recently was added to the heart transplant list. Alex and his family are hopeful for a new heart, but also struggle with the guilt of what that means for another family. After his long stay in the hospital, he returned to pass out Lego sets to young patients awaiting their own treatments. He remains positive but also knows that he is no longer able to play baseball, one of his great loves. Let’s wrap Alex (and his family) in a letter filled hug, sharing love, encouragement, and a bit of fun as they navigate this new life.
Likes:
Alex loves baseball, especially the Chicago Cubs, and Legos.

Kristine
Nominated By:
Her Daughter
The Story:
Kristine has experienced immense hurt in her life, but she also has spent her entire life caring for the people she loves without question. She has been in abusive relationships - both physically and emotionally - but still devotes herself to caring and loving for people without question. Her husband just passed away from cancer, and she cared for him until the very end because she believes that “no one deserves to die alone”. Now, Kristine will have to pick up her life which will be incredibly difficult. “My mom deserves so much more than the amount of abuse and broken love she has endured in her life,” says Kristine’s daughter.
This story goes further as Kristine nominated her daughter for a love letter bundle back when her daughter was in high school! This is what she shared with us: “I was deeply suicidal at the time, and ten years later I still cannot believe I was chosen to receive a bundle. More Love Letters saved my life. My mom saved my life. I have moved to multiple different states since receiving my bundle, and I take my letters with me everywhere I go. They are, truthfully, my reminder that there is good in the world. My reminder that people like my mom and I exist. We aren’t alone, and I can only hope that one day my mom will have her own bundle to help her heal.”
Letters change lives. Let’s shower Kristine with the love and support we showed her daughter nine years ago.
