Please get in touch with us if you have any questions or need some encouragement. 

Make personalized free cards to reach out to older adults and other people who are struggling in general. Sending a handmade card is an important way to connect with anyone, particularly homebound older adults who are struggling physically or emotionally. One area besides the elderly, I would love to also get free cards to both teens and adults who are getting rehabilitation at TeenChallengeUSA.com.

These Free Cards Are Primarily Communicated Through Handwritten Notes And Letters, So Your Personally Written Notes Will Be Particularly Meaningful. Create Your Own Hand-Made, Folded Cardstock Card, or Use A Store-Bought Card.  ~ Here Are Some Guidelines:

Write a warm or cheerful message on the inside of the free card. Sign your first name (if the card-maker is a child, they can also write their age). If you are writing on behalf of a school or organization, you can also write that. Under your name, please write, “A NeedEncouragement.com volunteer.”

When you send us your cards, please include your name, address, and email address. Please leave the cards OUT of their envelopes and next to them. We need to read every card, and this will make the process much quicker. Please don’t mention specifics of a season/date/holiday. If you don’t refer to the flowers coming up in spring, we can send your card at any time. We will be working on this project for some time. Please do not write in script. Some of the free cards are going to people for whom English is a second language and who cannot read the script. Here are some response letters from people who have written to us.

Please do not use 3D stickers, glitter, or similar embellishments. They are messy, too challenging to mail, and may require additional postage. They don’t travel well! If you are interested, please get in touch with me.
