Not every senior has someone checking in… but you can be the one who shows up. Your sponsorship sends the monthly Stained Glass Letters — a paper hug — to a senior who needs encouragement, belonging, and joy.
It's comfort they can touch. Hope they can keep and look at day to day.
Sponsorships are delivered through our community partner senior centers as part of our outreach program.
But if you have a specific senior in mind — a grandparent, a neighbor, a friend — they deserve to know it came from you. In that case, a Gift Subscription is the perfect fit, so your person receives their letters directly and knows exactly who's thinking of them.

Stained Glass Letters™ is a monthly snail-mail subscription for anyone who needs to feel seen, loved, and less alone. Whether you're walking through grief, loss, loneliness, divorce, a health journey, a major life change...or simply want something warm and joyful to look forward to... these letters are written for you. Each envelope is a small moment of peace—part story, part reflection, part gentle guidance—so you can rebuild one small piece at a time. Real mail. Real encouragement. Real connection.
Not bills. Not spam. A Paper Hug.
If you’re going through a big life change, grief, burnout, health challenges, divorce…
If your heart feels tired and you want a gentle monthly reset…
If you miss real connection (not more screen time)…
If you want a meaningful gift for someone you love…
If you want to brighten a mailbox for a senior who would truly appreciate real mail…
If you’ve been holding it together for everyone else… this is for you.

A heartfelt letter (The Stained Glass Letter series)
A new collection of stickers inspired by that month's stained glass design (joy you can touch)
A journal prompt message and an inspirational thought (something to think about)
A uniquely designed stained glass postcard... created exclusively for that month... yours to keep, frame, or pass along
A mystery art project that connects subscribers in a shared creative experience... you'll just have to wait and see.
We totally get that it's a little extra work, but if you're sending letters to more than one address, you'll just need to place a separate order for each one. That way, each subscription lives on its own — so if you ever need to make a change or cancel one of them, it's simple and it won't affect the others. We promise it's worth it!
At this time, please place a separate gift order for each recipient. That helps us make sure every subscription is connected to the right person, address, and email.
Yes. For gift subscriptions, the shipping information should be your recipient’s information. Your billing/payment information stays tied to your purchase.
Yes. We’ll have the recipient’s shipping details for delivery and your billing/payment details for the purchase.
Yes, absolutely. For now, we ask that you place separate orders if one subscription is for you and one is being sent as a gift. That helps us make sure each Paper Hug goes to the right mailbox and keeps your subscriptions easy to manage in your customer portal.
Yes—cancel anytime. In your client portal or you can email us at [email protected]
Yes. Choose Gift a Paper Hug, then enter your recipient’s name, mailing address, and email (optional) at checkout. You’ll use your own email, address, billing and payment information to complete the gift.
When you sponsor a senior, we send that month’s Stained Glass Letter through one of our partner senior centers or outreach communities. You do not need to provide a senior’s address at checkout — we take care of that part.
We’ll collect your email and mailing information so we can set up your customer portal, track your subscription, and make it easy for you to update or cancel if needed. Sponsored recipients stay private, but you can feel good knowing your gift is helping bring a little sunshine to someone who may need it most.
Stained Glass Letters is created by Ann, who is a person of faith. Occasionally, letters may include an inspirational quote, scripture, or faith-friendly message that reflects her personal beliefs and heart behind this mission. If you receive something that resonates with faith, know that it comes from a place of genuine care and encouragement. This product is for anyone who needs a little hope in their mailbox — regardless of background or belief.
If you purchase Get Your Paper Hug and then decide to also Sponsor a Senior, you will be taken to a separate checkout page and asked to enter your information again. This is because each subscription is processed as its own order so that you can manage them independently — cancel or update them separately at any time. We know it's an extra step and we appreciate your patience. It only takes a moment and it keeps everything organized on your end.
Ships monthly.

To everyone who has opened a letter, shared a kind word, and passed along the gift of hope — thank you. You are the heart behind every envelope we send. This little corner of the world exists because of you, and we are so deeply grateful.

Bringing hope, encouragement, and connection straight to your mailbox — one beautiful letter at a time.
