WHO WE ARE
Vision
To inspire people of all ages to empathize and connect with senior citizens in aged care homes and programs.
History
During the Covid-19 pandemic, teenage sisters Shreya and Saffron started writing letters to seniors to ease isolation. When demand grew, they founded Letters Against Isolation (LAI) to serve seniors worldwide. Since 2020, LAI has expanded to reach tens of thousands of seniors in the US, Canada, the UK and Australia. In 2022, LAI became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
WHAT WE DO
About Us
We're an all-volunteer group sending handwritten cards and letters to isolated seniors in care facilities across the US, Canada, Australia and the UK. This at-home opportunity brings joy to both writers and recipients. Since 2020, volunteers have written to 400 facilities in four countries, sharing letters in 30 languages.
Special Programs
➙ Community service hour verification for students (including DofE / The Duke of Edinburgh's Award and The Congressional Award)
➙ Support for teachers, clubs and group events (contact Lindsay for student groups)
