Our impact
Delivering Happy Mail around the world
We have sent thousands of cards to isolated illness warriors, facilitated hundreds of penpal relationships, and reached countless family members, caregivers, and medical professionals with messages of hope and acknowledgment.
38,332!
Cards sent to date
“I cannot express how much the cards meant to me. They lifted me up on my darkest days. Having a chronic illness feels so endlessly isolating. The cards made me feel seen, and remembered and brought me so much comfort. I cried at every one I received.”
-- Noelle, PA
Our goals
Number of illness warriors requesting cards:
9,727
(and growing every day!)
Number of cards we can send every quarter:
2,500
(2,250 domestically, 250 internationally)
With our current funding, we can only send out cards to a little over half of our current warriors, and this number is growing every day. That means that every time we send a card, there are illness warriors left behind. We strive to one day send a card to every single warrior in our database, multiple times a year.

“Every time I receive a card, I feel like someone cares and the immense pressure of my isolation lets up. I am reminded that someone out there is rooting for me and my spirits are lifted! :)”
