Basic Membership

Send one reviewed letter of kindness each month.

The Basic Membership gives one participating child 1 outgoing letter credit each month to send a thoughtful letter to another child through Kindness By Mail.

Your child writes their letter at home, you review and mail it to us with the required submission slip, and we review it before forwarding it in a new envelope.

Families do not choose a specific recipient. Letters are matched through Kindness By Mail with another participating child in a similar age range, as close in age as possible based on available matches.

You’ll receive an email confirmation when your child’s approved letter has been forwarded.

• 1 outgoing letter credit per month

How it works

• Your child writes a kind letter at home.
• You review it and include the required submission slip with the letter.
• You mail the letter to Kindness By Mail.
• We review the letter to make sure it follows our safety and privacy guidelines.
• If approved, we forward it to another participating child.
• If the other child replies, their reply is also reviewed before being forwarded to your child.
• If both families want to continue writing, future letters may continue through the same Kindness By Mail connection.
