About
Notes for Support allows anyone to easily and safely connect with those most deeply affected by COVID-19. We help foster personal connections through the power of words, sent the old fashion way—yes, that means snail mail.
 
Thousands of notes written by people like you, from all over the world, have already helped frontline healthcare workers and COVID-19 patients struggling with isolation. There’s some kind of magic that comes with receiving a letter in the mail, even from a stranger, that encourages those going through a hard time to see the light. We’re here to spread that magic far and wide.

FAQ
Q: Who will receive the notes?
A: If you choose a hospital, one COVID-19 patient or healthcare worker there will receive your note. If you choose "all hospitals", your note will be sent to one patient or healthcare worker in each hospital.
​
Q: Why print the notes in the first place?
A: We want to make everything personal. A physical note adds a human touch that no screen can substitute.
​
Q: But can't germs be transported via paper?
A: We contacted hospitals beforehand and take all special precautions they require (e.g. wearing gloves).
​
Q: How can I know when my note has been sent?
A: Check back on our blog and we'll post an update whenever we ship out notes!
Q: How can I help out? 
As we're a student-run nonprofit, our biggest roadblocks are printing & shipping costs. We would greatly appreciate any support through our GoFundMe or direct donation page (tax-deductible). ​100% of your gift is used to print & ship! No donation is too small.
 
Q: Can our hospital receive notes?

Q: Can I get volunteer hours?
