Like the title says, I joined Reddit exclusively to post on r/suicidewatch. But I somehow stumbled on this subreddit and posted a request for some cards to cheer me up, to which you all delivered. This subreddit has given me something to look forward to and something to do in my spare time. You guys have cheered me up, sent me birthday cards, helped me stay busy while quitting weed, and celebrated milestones with me.

I just posted an offer a little while ago and still have 50something postcards to write, but I have to celebrate my cake day somehow! So instead of an offer, I’m thinking I’ll do a request for now.

I hang up all the cards I get and it’d be cool to post some happy cake day/congrats on making it this far cards next to the original 23 cards of encouragement I got last year.

If you do want to send me a card, I’d love to hear what helps you through the rough days. Or just something happy!

Thanks in advance! ☺️

My little girl is 4 years old and is fighting stage Iv kidney cancer while also being a T1D, her 5th birthday is on March 22nd and due to her having a compromised immune system and covid we can’t risk having a normal birthday this year for her, she would love to receive cards for her birthday! She gets so excited getting mail! We would be very thankful and appreciative to whoever will be willing to lift her spirits for her 5th birthday!! She’s been really struggling as she just got treated for cdiff and now has a ng tube so she has been pretty angry lately, if love to see some beautiful smiles on her face for a while! Thank you so much for your time!

The RAoC Mod Team hopes you're staying safe and healthy during these trying times.

Many nursing homes, assisted living facilities, group homes, and similar locations are now on lockdown. This increased isolation can be very hard on residents. We're seeing more card requests here and around the internet, so we've decided to compile a list, and we need your help!

We've got 2 tasks we're asking for your help with:

1. Send some cheer and support in the form of cards to some of the places on the list! Some tips for content & addressing cards are in the pinned comment below the post.

2. Check out the social media of or contact a local nursing/assisted living/group/etc. home and ask if they would like to be on the list to receive cards! Get permission to publicly share the address, then fill out our form so we can add it to the list! You'll need a. the name of the place, b. the mailing address, and c. the name and contact information for who gave permission (this will be kept private) or the link to their request on social media.

You're also welcome to put more than one card per envelope to save on postage! Check your country's weight limits per stamp, but then feel free to load them on up to send the most cheer possible!

Places to send cards:

Note, list is not ordered by name or country, but by most recently added to our list. That way, the most recently added are easily found. Check back regularly! Countries are now bolded for visibility.

Customs decided to open all my mail from Canada that comes in non white envelopes.

This calls for revenge!!! REVENGE!!!
My blood is thirsty for tears covered in glitter.

Where are my glitter fairies warriors from Canada? Please show them your sparkle power hidden in dark coloured envelopes and make them puke rainbows and regret their actions! Add notes for them inside in badly google translated spanish messages if you feel like.

THIS IS WAR!!

SHOW NO MERCY!!

Edit: woah, I left to eat and came back to a full army of avengers! Revenge tastes sweeter when it sparkles. Muahaha!!! We can do this my warriors. The more leafy and suspicious it looks, the more we could tempt them into this trap. And when they open it, surprise them with the hardest one to clean!

Give me some time to contact each one of you my shiny brave camrades, your sacrifice won’t be in vain!

Edit 2: If your non-canadian dark shiny soul can't resist the call for the glitter revolution... are you up to innocent luring them with paper/bookmarks/tags/cards made with pressed flowers/leaves in recycled paper? That sure rings the alarms!

This could turn into the rainbow havoc! Muahahhhaaa!

Edit 3: PLEASE DO NOT SEND actual plants/herbs. They could actually burn your mail because of fitosanitary reasons and stuff. Just innocent washi paper/bookmarks/ irregular confetti and stuff like that could probably make them open it but still ok to enter the country.

Edit 4: I wanna make condecorations for the brave sparkle veterans whos bombs arrive opened with the blue customs tape. 3 outcomes available: open and boom, open and burn or not open and I’m doomed.

The results will be posted on March. May the shine be with you.

I know they won't arrive on time, but I feel it would be so special to receive some cards from the people I consider family more than ever. It's our 7 year anniversary, we were born and raised in las vegas,nevada so what better year than lucky number 7 right? It would mean oodles to mean.

Here's a few photos of us starting with the first 💓 first photo ever

now 🌞🌸

Thanks if you can participate. I hope this is okay.

updated with photo of us from today, I can't wait to receive all your cards and update you guys again!!! You'll forever be apart of our love story. I see us now being 80 opening them laughing and loving you all so hard

I do! 2.5.20

His birthday is October 7th and my mind is melting a little with anticipation. If we could simple flood this guy with love.... it would only confirm my trust in humanity. He says he wants 100 birthday cards and well, fuck that. I’m sending two (pics to follow).

Please mail your postcards to:

5800 North Park Dr. Watauga, TX 76148

Also here he is.... link

For those interested here are mine!
For those who catch that I missed the happy birthday wish.... yeah I got too excited

I'm very sorry, it's taken me a while to be able to write this out for you all. To those who sent my brother who was battling mesothelioma cards, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

When he was on his death bed, he was very out of it and was saying a lot of things that didn't make sense. But when I asked him if he wanted to read more cards his face lit up and he said he would. I read him your cards and it helped him relax a bit more. I held his hand all night. In the morning he passed away after being taken to the ICU.

To those who remember sending card to a 29 year old battling mesothelioma, thank you so so much. My brother loved them.

Well hello again, u/twerptwo! It's not been long,

Since I last wrote you a Milestone song!

Everyone give it up for such a mahussive achievement,

As I deepen your Flair for 3000 Thanks to Blue for such an attainment.

He lived an amazing life. He left his farm in Illinois as a late teenager after winning a national swing dancing competition that took him on tours through the Caribbean, Cuba, and across the US and jump-started his career in entertainment. He went to war, serving as a nose-gunner and bombardier. He suffered severe shell shock on his last mission that caused him to miss going home with his crew. After that he served the war by performing burlesque marionette acts to troops stationed in Asia-pacific. He then met my grandmother in NYC - she was a singer who performed on radio shows. They started performing marionette shows together. He then started a trout fishing business that eventually turned into a swim club just on the outskirts of NYC where they had six children.

My grandpa has always been the embodiment of happiness. I have always been amazed at just how strong of a light he emits onto everyone he meets.

He’s in hospice right now, but just beat off a strong bout of pneumonia. I hope he’ll be able to get up and moving again soon.

I would tremendously appreciate it if you could send a birthday card his way this year. All he wants is 102 cards for his 102nd birthday this November.

Hey guys,

James Wiitamaki is dying of Cancer at the VA in St. Cloud, MN. He has taken out an ad in the local newspaper asking people to drop him a line.

James Wiitamaki

VA Medical Center, B51-2

4801 Veterans Drive

Here is a link to his story

I had no friends growing up, and I remember being painfully alone on my birthday - especially since my birthday was during Ski Week. I don’t want that for her, (her birthday is smack dab in the middle of Summer Recess: July 12.)

She absolutely loves cards - she has a shoebox full - this would mean the world to her, because last year seven people RSVP’d to her party and literally no one showed up. Not even her grandparents.

EDIT: Sorry it’s taking me a minute, but I’ll get back to each-and-every-one-of-you! My husband and I got surprised hospitalized over the 4th festivities, but we’ll be okay, and the party will go on!

Also, if you’re worried about you’re card making it in time, don’t! She’s only turning three, so I’m pretty sure she thinks the entire month is her birthday.

🥰🙂🙃😘 This little family cannot thank RAOC enough and definitely will show a very Big Girl ‘Thank You!’ Poster for all of you!

Hi.

My son is currently going through intense chemotherapy treatment and we're looking for things to make him smile (it's a rarity of late).

My son’s name is Rueben (DOB: 25/12/2009) and he’s currently having intense chemotherapy after having radiotherapy. He was diagnosed in May of 2019 and has been on a wild ride ever since, having 2 surgeries and 30 sessions of radiotherapy. His family remains optimistic that his treatment will be successful. We’ll likely be in hospital over Xmas and well into the New Year. What makes his story all the more challenging is that he lost his mum to cancer in January 2017, so the family was only just healing from that ordeal - we have all, however, remained strong and resilient throughout.

A very kind lady saw my recent post on another thread and suggested I reach out to this community, it sounds very fitting and I could not think of a better 'fit'!

Rueben's interests: Reptiles, computer programming, what’s inside things, basketball, art and crafts, bikes. Animals: Dogs, reptiles, bearded dragons, giant African land snails, corn snakes, chameleons, tortoises, fish.

Sending love to you all in advance and think it's amazing what you all do - what an awesome idea! You're all incredibly inspirational!

Electronically yours,
Steve

I have just the thing for you! I'm relearning how to write after a traumatic brain injury during which I also mass acquired stickers during my stay in rehab so I have 20 stamps and I'm ready to start making and sort of writing you cards!

UPDATE: The first 40 are going out with the first post tomorrow -it's taking me a minute to do this y'all! Thanks for the patience🙏🏼😁

This is our daughter Théa, and our son Samuel. Théa is six years old, and quite lovely. For a school project she has to collect 100 of something, and she would love it if you could help her.

https://imgur.com/a/Oo3iTEj

Théa is fascinated with countries of the world, the people of those countries and their languages, so we are asking our friends, and people you know, (and people they know) to post a really quick letter or postcard to her. It would be great if you could add a note about who you are and what country you’re in, which can be in your own language of course! But don’t worry about writing a lot, just a few words is enough and even a bare postcard would be appreciated. Théa’s first goal is to receive 100 letters, then we’ll aim to have them from 100 different countries, and after that we’ll see if we can reach all the countries of the world!

Imagine the excitement of a six-year-old and her little brother when they open our post box to find your letter! And each letter will be helping them to learn about the big world out there, and about the truly wonderful people in it.

This isn't just a school project any longer - through receiving letters from people around the world we can start to connect our children with the many, many wonderful people out there and start to build some better understanding

If you would like to help out please message me and I'll happily give you our address; Thank you so much in advance.

Théa, Samuel and Adam

EDIT: Thank you sooooo much for everyone who has replied. Your response has been simply amazing! I started this with the aim of showing Théa (and Sam) that the people of the world are, by and large, good, decent people - and you've shown me that I was right. I'm learning a great deal here too!

I had an issue with reddit and the chat and message functions last night and I'm not entirely sure if I have replied to everyone - I tried to. If I have not replied to you please do try messaging me again, and I'll pick it up.

Thank you so much everyone, you're all brilliantly amazing!

CNN Article

With Raiden's birthday on Sunday, Margie Bryant -- the boy's great-aunt, whom he lovingly also calls grandma -- and her family wanted to find a way to make sure the boy knows how much he is loved, especially in the absence of his parents, she told CNN.

A "wave and roar" dinosaur-themed drive-by parade is set for November 28, organized by Bryant, who lives in Houston. A local fire department, a Batman entertainer, monster truck clubs, motorcycle clubs and classic car clubs are all due to participate.

"It's a milestone birthday," Bryant said. "We just want him (Raiden) to know that we're going to be there for all of his birthdays and make sure he's celebrated, and I know my niece has the cheesiest grin because she knows her boy is in good hands."

-The RAoC Mod Team

Hello all,

A co-redditor called u/Aussie_Murphy suggested I should post this request here, so thanks to him for the tip. Essentially there was an article in an Irish paper (linked and quoted below) requesting the general public to send in birthday cards for a guy called Christopher Wyse, he's about to turn 30 years old on the 2nd of July. His mom made the request as Christopher apparently loves birthday cards and his birthday. He suffers from a very rare condition and lost both his sister and father in the last 5 years, so is having a rough time. On top of this, apparently it wasn't expected he live more than 2 years, and here he is approaching 30. It's a fantastic milestone.

I gather this is the subreddit to bring this stuff to, so cheers for any help possible. It's getting a good response over on r/Ireland too, so hopefully Chris will have a good 30th. If you can't send in a card I'm more than happy to write a name or message on my ones for you, if you want to PM me or reply below. I'm probably going to send it in within 36 hours of posting.

All the best!

Addendum: I gather his address is in County Cork, Ireland - the newspaper is a Cork one and they seem to take it as read their readership knows where Churchfield is in Ireland.

https://www.echolive.ie/corknews/Family-of-man-who-wasnt-expected-to-live-past-the-age-of-two-urge-public-to-send-him-cards-for-his-30th-birthday-93dc3e31-a9dc-4991-ad70-6401e015bb82-ds

" THE family of a man who had not been expected to reach his second birthday are inviting the public to send him birthday cards to mark his 30th birthday.

Christopher Wyse from 36 Churchfield Avenue in Churchfield will turn 30 on July 2. His proud mum Rose had planned a big party in celebration but this has had to be postponed because of Covid-19 restrictions.

He was born with Rubinstein Taybi Syndrome, which is extremely rare. The syndrome is characterised by short stature, broad digits, and varying degrees of intellectual disability.

Rose said he has come through seven surgeries during his life, including on his heart and bowel.

She said that very few with the condition live beyond their second birthday.

She recalled: "He was tube fed until he was four and was in hospital until he was three years old. He has no speech and is wheelchair bound. He can communicate through sign language that he learned through COPE."

Before the outbreak of Covid-19 in Ireland, Christopher attended the John Birmingham Centre in Glasheen daily but has been cocooning at home with his mother since March 8.

She said: "He is a very very happy person. It is amazing that he has gone through this pandemic."

She recalled that Christopher's sister Mary Rose died five years ago at the age of 21 while their father Henry died suddenly just over five months later, aged just 53 years old.

Rose is now hoping people will help make Christopher's birthday a big and happy event by sending him birthday cards, because she said he loves cards and he loves his birthdays.

She and other members of his extended family are also hoping to organise a drive by past his house to mark the day."

I wrote this Christmas night. I kept wanting to send it but I felt like such a loser, that maybe a day or two would help. I’m still drowning in these thoughts days later even after posting this to off my chest.

I lost my parents in November. They didn’t die, they protected my abuser. It’s a long horrible story and if it really interests you then peruse my profile. There is a very long off my chest post with most of the story. It’s graphic.

After cutting contact with them, we moved 2700 miles. My wife has family here, but I do not know them very well. I feel isolated. I’ve been looking for a full time job unsuccessfully. I got a job with a temp agency so i will have some income in the next few weeks. But, this is the first time I’ve ever not been able to buy presents for literally anyone. I made cookies because I wanted to do something, anything to contribute. I watched our kids open presents from other people and nothing from us. I felt so guilty and like such a failure. Also thankful, I can’t imagine them having nothing to open at all.

Is there a mom out there that could send me a card? I don’t know how to not have a mom yet, and it’s kind of messing me up. I’m so far from being able to go to therapy and sorting my issues out. I just, I don’t know. I’m laying beside my sleeping son and i can’t stop crying. I don’t know what to do. Today was overwhelming.

That was the post. It still feels overwhelming. I can’t seem to get anything done for the last few days. I don’t know if this will help but I’ve got to try something. Thank you for reading.

Edit: I’m trying to respond to all the comments and messages, it’s harder than I expected. I feel overwhelmed with emotion after reading every comment or PM. Real people caring about me. Strangers putting more effort into my well being than the people I called family, it’s a lot. It’s beautiful and sad at the same time. I will get to every comment and message. Thank you all so much for your support.

Yesterday, September 8th, marked my TWO YEARS of sobriety! 730 DAYS! Whoa! It’s been a long, hard road but I can’t believe I’ve made it sooo far! If you would have talked to me when I was anywhere between 13-23, I would have easily told you that I knew I’d never live to see 25... I celebrated 24 AND 25 clean & sober! I wasted so much of my time and life on being an addict, so now I’m making up for it!

I’m taking my PTSD head on, I’m out hiking all the time, I have my Therapy Dog, I’m doing DAMN well & have come far. It’s still hard, I don’t believe it will ever be easy, but it’s nice to be able to see just how far I’ve come...

I’d love to get some happy mail about it (I know I just asked because I got a new address, but this is much more important to me!), to remind me never to go back! I have come so damn far! I have a career in caregiving. I never knew how absolutely compassionate I was. I care for people with Developmental Disorders. (Autism, Schizophrenia, Brain Injuries, etc). I’m living in Montana now after years of traveling. Moving out of my home state, Iowa, was the biggest step for me.

Anyways, I appreciate you all! Let me know if ya want anything in return too! (:

This is my first ever request on RAoC after being active in the community for about a year now! I have filled many requests, but never knew when I should make one myself. Well, the time has come!

I received the call that I was accepted for a Behavioral Health Therapist position working with adults! I’ll have up to 60 clients, my own office, the whole works!

I recently graduated with my masters degree and have spent several years volunteering, interning, and working in homeless shelters and soup kitchens, jails and prisons, inpatient units, and crisis centers. My hard work has led me to have the position I’ve been wanting for so long and I’d love to receive any cards to help commemorate this moment in my life and career.

I love anything bright, colorful, positive, and joyful! Honestly anything sent will be absolutely wonderful. Please comment below if you’d like to help celebrate with me and I’ll PM my info. Thank you so much for reading.

Edit: I am absolutely overwhelmed with gratitude by the response this has had!!! Thank you all so much for the kind words and for celebrating this achievement with me. I said this in my messages but please make sure to put your return address if you’d like a thank you card!

Edit #2: I marked the request as fulfilled! I am still in shock at how many people have offered to send me a card. It has been such a wonderful day. Thank you everyone!!!

There are NONE! :)

Recently, more request posts have featured long explanations of why someone is asking for cards. Users shouldn’t feel they need just as many reasons and "as bad" or worse of a situation than other posters, in order to be eligible to request cards. We do not want this to become part of the culture at RAOC, as people should not feel the need to justify requesting cards.

Remember: You don't have to have a reason to make a request post, and you don't have to justify your posts. You may ask for cards simply because you want cards!

It's completely fine to mention your reasons for wanting cards, but please keep in mind the details you include -- we want this to be a safe space for everyone. If you need a place to just get everything happening out, check out r/offmychest. It can help you get all your thoughts out there as well as keep your request post smaller.

Overall, remember that RAOC is about sending and receiving cards for any reason, no justification or explanation needed! We started off as "card for any reason," and we want to stay that way!

If you have any questions, message the mods.

Thanks for being here!

I thought these postcards would be a cheeky way to celebrate hitting 666 days sober! Some are slightly NSFW with the whole vibe so yeah, keep that in mind :)

I have 19 postcards to share with you lovely people and on each card, I’ll write a reason or two why I’m thankful for being sober. This is a ‘first come, first serve’ offer so if you’re interested, just comment below!!

EDIT: Offer fulfilled and y’all have made this most unholy milestone the most special so far!!!! Enjoy the cards then go hail Satan or yourself or something 🤘🏻
