Letter Inspiration!

Founder & Organizer

Brooke Donaghy

I started the Send A Smile Project because during my own mental health struggles, I found that letters were a simple yet powerful way to bring hope, comfort, and even a smile to my face during my toughest moments. Now, I'm hoping to pay that forward and share that feeling with others who may be going through a difficult time. This website is a space where anyone can send either handwritten or digital letters to patients in hospitals who could use a little extra encouragement and love. Send a smile, and help spread a little hope today. ;)
