We’re on a mission to raise $300,000 by 11/11 to support young adults facing cancer through Dear Jack’s LifeList, Breathe Now, and community programs.
Donate, fundraise, or spread the word to help us reach our goal and continue to support AYA cancer patients and survivors across the country.
Supporting young adults facing cancer starts with small acts of kindness. Thanks for giving your time to write with Letters with Love or to volunteer in another meaningful way. Use this page to join our time‑tracking system (Jibble), log hours, and find bite‑size tips.
TIP: If you forget to clock in/out, you can add hours manually with the correct date and time
Every card you write helps brighten someone’s day. Whether it’s a heartfelt note or a simple message of encouragement, your words remind young adults facing cancer that they’re not alone. Every minute you spend writing counts toward your volunteer time. See our slide deck for info on what makes a good letter.
Add a little creativity and color! Simple designs, stickers, or doodles can make mail feel extra special while staying postal-friendly. Your artistic touch adds warmth and personality to every card you send.
Sorting, bundling, and prepping cards may seem small—but it keeps the program running smoothly. This behind-the-scenes work ensures each participant receives a thoughtful, complete set of letters right on time.
Whether virtual or in person, your presence matters. Joining a group session helps you connect with others, share inspiration, and keep the momentum going for Letters with Love. All time spent participating counts toward your hours.
Getting those cards in the mail is the final, important step! From sealing envelopes to dropping them off, this time ensures your kindness reaches our participants safely and quickly.
When you help organize, promote, or manage a group writing event, you’re amplifying impact. Time spent planning, communicating, or leading your team counts too—because building community is a big part of what makes Letters with Love special.

"Hey everyone! Just wanted to send a special thank you for sending me all the inspiring and uplifting cards. It is so great having hundreds of people send positivity and, in my case, new recipes to cook! I am grateful to be a part of this community."
"It was so heartwarming to receive all the letters from so many wonderful and caring people. It brought me to tears."
"Lately, I’ve had some heavy days and just feeling pretty down and stressed. When you mentioned you were sending me something in the mail, I never expected what showed up. They made me laugh and smile, and I can’t tell you how much that lifted me up. Thank you so much for the time, care, and love you put into doing that for me. It meant the world.”
"Oh my goodness I received the letters and haven’t even read all of them yet… I’m crying happy tears 🥹"
