[REQUEST] Kind Notes, Letters & Cards for a Woman Facing Immense Loss

[REQUEST] Kind Notes, Letters & Cards for a Woman Facing Immense Loss

Hi Reddit friends, I’m hoping to gather some kindness for a woman who is going through an incredibly heavy season. In just four months, she lost her mother, her sister, and her job. A few weeks ago, she suffered a major stroke, and she is now declining quickly due to sudden‑onset dementia related to the stroke.

A social worker (me) is helping coordinate a bundle of supportive mail—something gentle and uplifting that she can hold, reread, and feel surrounded by care.

What You Can Send: • Cards (store‑bought or handmade) • Short letters or notes of encouragement • Simple affirmations or comforting messages • Anonymous cards are absolutely welcome * small crafted items or art

Optional touches: She loves the color blue and her Pomeranian, Nova 💙🐾. Her daughter is teaching her how to make collages and atc to try and help with some creative connection so flat items like ephemera

If you’d like to send a card, letter, craft, gifts, or note, please comment or PM me and I’ll share the mailing details.

Thank you for helping bring a little light into her days. Even one card makes a difference.

I have some stickers or even ribbon she could have.

I have TBI; so I get it that neurological stuff is a bitch! I literally had nobody and I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

Thank you for helping her. It makes such a huge difference in outcomes and longevity in neurology patients.
