Is there a subreddit or place I can find people to write letters to?

r/

My mother passed away a few months ago and I found close to 100 unused cards ( birthday / congrats / blanks / ect… ) I don’t want to give them away but I don’t want them sitting in my drawer for ever.

I’m trying to find random people I can write letters to, in order to make their days better. Could be a birthday wish, a congrats, a get better, or just a silly joke.

Any recommendations?

    How about your local first responders?

    You can always sign up to write letters/send cards to service members- you can fill out the cards and send them to a military address and then they get dispersed 😇

    Check in with retirement communities/nursing homes to see if any residents might appreciate this.

    Whichever age you’d imagine to be the most difficult to be the teacher for, send them to a local school, or the school that you think would be the most challanging. I could imagine myself spending hours in google earth determining who to try to give a lil lift to.

    Also retirement homes could take them if you have more than you will use. The activities director will have good use for them.
