Des
Nominated By:
Her Sister
The Story:
Des works hard as an operating room nurse, and all of her patients love her because of how caring and empathetic of a person she is.
She recently lost her local job and had to move to Vermont for a traveling nurse assignment. This move has left her very lonely. She doesn't know anyone, she is away from her husband and fur babies along with all her family.
Her dad also just passed away on September 13th after a short illness. Due to her having been off work for months without paid bereavement time, she wasn't able to come home for his services.
Des is going to be in Vermont for a couple more months, so pick your favorite stationary and send all the love, encouragement, and good vibes!
Likes:
Des loves playing pool — she’s played in leagues for years and is kind of a shark. She loves music, especially 80s and 90s, and she goes to live concerts all the time. She also loves to travel to places with great hiking and views.

Ed
Nominated By:
A friend
The Story:
Ed is 89-years-old and sharp as a tack. He sadly lost his wife, partner, and best friend of over four decades, and he deeply misses the companionship. They had lively, vibrant conversations, and his house is now very quiet. He has been lamenting the old days of pen pals and that sense of connection. Ed is a voracious reader, and he loves to attend Trivia Nights. He is relieved that he'll soon be back to watching Green Bay Packer football, but let’s also keep Ed company through the joy of mail.
Likes:
Ed loves British TV, classical music, and Green Bay Packers football

Abel
Nominated By:
A friend
The Story:
After brain tumor surgery, Abel had to relearn how to walk and talk, and yet after recovering, she always wanted to help others. She traveled to Poland and Ukraine to volunteer with humanitarian efforts, including supporting refugee children and offering her skills as a social worker.
Later, Abel developed debilitating seizures that changed her life again; everyday things most of us take for granted—grocery shopping, too much noise, attending her daughter’s volleyball games, or simply experiencing too much stress—can trigger one. To add yet another thing, earlier this year she was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer.
Fiercely independent, Abel has worked since she was 11 and has always been the one caring for others, but recently she realized that her daughter had learned from her not only to never ask for help, but to have difficulty accepting it when it was offered; that realization pierced through her, and because of her daughter, Abel is learning to let people help her through the fear and uncertainty of cancer treatment.
Despite the fear and anxiety she has experienced, Abel has also felt tremendous gratitude for the people showing up for her—and especially for her daughter (Vivian) getting to witness the goodness in people; this is a new season of surrender and receiving for them both, so let’s remind Abel that she is cared for, supported, does not have to carry everything alone.
Likes:
Abel loves hairless cats, baking, spending time with her teenage daughter, and rescuing all kinds of animals - if there is an animal that has been abandoned or hit by a car and she is in a 20 mile radius of it, she is probably already nursing it back to health at home.

Jim
Nominated By:
His cousin
The Story:
Jim has spent a lifetime showing up for others. A Navy veteran and retired schoolteacher, he’s also a devoted grandfather who is now raising his two teenage granddaughters. In recent years, he’s experienced profound loss, including the death of his wife of more than 30 years, while continuing to navigate the responsibilities of caring for his family. Jim has a big heart, a good sense of humor, and plenty of stories to tell.
His cousin recently spent a wonderful weekend with him and came away reminded of how much it matters to recognize the people who quietly hold their families together. She nominated Jim because she wanted him to know that his kindness, commitment, and presence matter.
Please send Jim a letter of encouragement, share a story, or simply remind him that there are people in the world cheering him on.
Likes:
Jim loves history, cooking, and spending time with his two golden retrievers.
