Let’s be honest - the holidays can be a challenge. Whether you’re navigating tough family situations, scary health news, the weight of grief, or just pure exhaustion after a long year, so often we step into the holiday season feeling like our cup is close to empty.

And while you may love the thought of sitting down to script love letters to strangers during the 12 Days of Love Letter Writing, don’t be surprised if you find yourself staring at the empty page, unsure what to say. After all, when you’re struggling to stay afloat, how do you find the words to encourage others?

Here’s a tip: write the words you need to hear.

In this moment, as you battle your way through your own holiday season, what do you need to hear? What do you need someone to remind you of?

There is so much power in the realization that we’re never as alone as we think we are, and friend, you can remind someone of that truth in a uniquely impactful way. Your voice matters - and we’re right here beside you every step of the way.

OLIVER

Oliver is a first responder with over five years of EMS (Emergency Medical Services) experience. He is juggling a lot right now– full-time work, paramedic school, and caring for his very sick mother. He struggles with the stress and guilt of not being able to be there for her as much as he wishes while working long, 24-hour shifts. He rarely asks for anything for himself—so let’s grab some stationery and show Oliver that his dedication, love, and hard work truly matter.
