A letter in the mail can mean so much
Letter from a Friend is a monthly letter subscription designed specifically for adults with intellectual disabilities and autism. Written in accessible, age-appropriate language, each letter brings stories of adventure, everyday discoveries, and a genuine sense of belonging straight to their mailbox.
For many adults with intellectual disabilities and autism, friendships can be hard to come by—and getting mail of their own is rare. Letter from a Friend changes that.
We deliver connection right to their door. It’s more than just an envelope; it’s the warmth of a new friend sharing their day, a familiar voice to look forward to, and a regular reminder that they are part of a bigger world.
Why Families Love It
A Real Connection to the World
Every month delivers adventure, travel, and true-to-life stories that spark curiosity. It’s a monthly letter that feels personal and special—giving your loved one a warm, familiar voice to look forward to.
Accessible and Age-Respectful
We use easy-to-read writing with accessible language and a larger font, ensuring the letters are highly engaging while remaining age-respectful for adults.
Fun Prompts to Share and Reflect
Each letter includes fun questions that invite a response. Whether they choose to write back to our mailbag or simply share their thoughts with you over dinner, it naturally builds communication and confidence.
How it Works
Step 1: Subscribe Choose a 3-month plan or save with an annual subscription. Sign up using your loved one's name and address.
Step 2: The Bright Envelope Arrives Each month, a bright, easy-to-spot envelope arrives in the mail, addressed just to them. Inside is a typed, multi-page letter filled with true-to-life moments, travel stories, and warm reflections. Their first delivery will be our Introduction Letter to begin their new friendship. Every month after that, a brand-new letter filled with fresh adventures will arrive by the middle of the month.
Step 3: Read & Share Written using an accessible vocabulary and a large, comfortable font, the letters are perfect for independent reading or sharing together.
