I nominated my grandma, and when she got picked, I was very excited! She received 500 letters and it brought tear to her eye. She said she cannot understand why so many strangers would want to write to her, but it makes her so overjoyed. This project can not just make someone’s day or month. But instead, give them a reminder forever that they are loved, people are thinking about them and appreciate them. I just want to give a huge thank u to this organization and make sure they know how amazing the work they and everyone who writes are doing.
I thought it would be great if my neighbor received 100 letters. I never imagined that over 850 letters would be received. They are still coming in and it’s been a blessing to see the goodness and kindness or people through this program. Letters have been received from 46 of the 50 states and DC. Letters also came from Australia, Canada, England, Hong Kong, China, Germany and Mexico. Now that her vision has started to fade; I’ll be reading to her for a few years it seems! It’s amazing how her whole disposition changes as I am reading to her. This is a beautiful ministry that is achieving its goal of combating social isolation one letter at a time. It’s the middle of the next month and letters are still coming in!
A Heartwarming and Life-Changing Experience
I am beyond grateful for the incredible work Love Letters for Our Elders does. I’ve received over 500 heartfelt letters from every single state across the USA and Canada—something I never expected! Each day, I find more love letters waiting in my mailbox, and it brings so much joy.
Adults wrote, children wrote, people from all religions, races, genders, and ages—it's like one big HUMAN FAMILY in our mailbox and in our hearts.
We wish we could reply to every single one of you and tell you how much your kindness means to courageous, lonely, frail elders! Your hearts are amazing! We LOVE you back!
I submitted Ramaa and Appa—who is hoping to reach 100 years old and is almost there!
The kindness and love we’ve felt through these letters have truly restored our faith in humanity. The world is so much kinder than the headlines would have us believe. Everyone, keep believing in the good in humanity!
This experience has been an absolute blessing, and we can’t thank Love Letters for Our Elders enough for bringing such warmth into our lives. It has changed our hearts forever!
Thank you so much for everything you do. You are truly incredible, and the work you do has a profound and lasting impact.
This is my second year using Love For Our Elders. Our first experience in December 2023, I received over 450+ letters. I signed up my grandmother because she loves snail mail and is far away from her family in Puerto Rico. When I surprised her with these letters, she was filled with joy. She stated, "This makes me believe in the good in the world," and wishes she could respond to every person. She received holiday cards, heartfelt letters, small gifts, and drawings she treasured. I signed her up again for April 2025, and so far, I have received 200+ letters. I know she will feel amazing when these arrive at her door. Thank you so much for providing this opportunity for her.
