A small act of kindness can change someone’s whole day.

Happy Mail Nominations

Life with disability, chronic illness, caregiving, trauma, or just… being human can feel heavy. Sometimes what we need most is a reminder that someone sees us, cares about us, and is thinking of us.
Happy Mail is our way of sending that reminder.
Nominate anyone - a friend, a partner, a caregiver, a disabled person, a neighbor, a stranger, or even yourself - to receive a handwritten postcard, greeting card, or letter made by Shawna. Every piece is original, created with love, and sent with the hope that it brings a moment of light into someone’s day. There’s no cost, no catch, and no limit to how many people you can nominate.

Just kindness, connection, and community.

How it works

  • You nominate someone.
  • Shawna creates an original card or postcard.
  • We mail it...for free.
  • Someone gets a moment of joy...and may even do a little happy dance.

Why it matters

In a world that moves fast, handwritten mail slows things down. It says:
- “I see you.”
- “You matter.”
- “You’re not alone.”
- “Someone is thinking of you today.”
For disabled people, caregivers, trauma survivors, and anyone carrying invisible weight, that reminder can mean everything.

Happy Mail is one of the ways our community practices kindness — small gestures that ripple outward.

Who you can nominate

Literally anyone.
- Someone going through a hard time
- A disabled friend or partner
- A caregiver who gives endlessly
- A community volunteer who always says yes
- A new parent
- A neighbor who could use some encouragement
- Someone navigating chronic illness
- A stranger whose address you have
- An estranged parent or sibling
- Yourself (yes, really)
- A teacher or coach
- A business owner struggling to make a go of it
- Someone going through a divorce
- Anyone who is grieving
- Anyone who is celebrating
