Supportive notes

Write something for a stranger.

More than two thousand handwritten notes have gone out with our care kits, written by medical students, by people in recovery, and by community members. This is the same thing, from wherever you are.

How this works

Where your words go.

Someone reads every note before it goes anywhere. The ones we use get printed onto cards and tucked into care kits, or read aloud in a sharing circle.

Keep it short

It has to fit on a card that fits in a pocket. A sentence or two is plenty.

Keep it anonymous

Please do not include your last name, your address or your phone number. A first name is welcome. So is nothing.

Write to a person

Not to a cause. The person holding the card is having a hard day and does not need advice, a lecture, or scripture unless you know them.

One of the handwritten ones: “Even in dark times, there is light. You are not alone. I believe in you. You can do this.”

We may lightly edit for print, and not every note will be used. Nothing is published on this website.

Or come in person

The kits get packed by hand.

If you would rather write yours on paper, come to a session and write a stack of them with us.
