Survivor Cards

Survivor Cards A network of survivors of traumatic experiences & volunteers, encouraging others with messages of hope & healing.

Our mission is to empower survivors of trauma by connecting them with messages of hope, healing and solidarity through the magic of snail mail & handwritten notes. Our vision is for every survivor to know that they are a part of something larger, to feel there is a community of people rooting for them, and to believe that they hold power in their recovery and knowledge in their healing that can be passed on to others.

Some news cycles reopen wounds we thought had scarred over.
If your body or heart feels heavy right now, you’re not weak β€” you’re human.

Survivor Cards offers handwritten messages of care for survivors, helpers, and those carrying secondary trauma.

Going Back to Our Roots 🌱

After a turbulent year for survivors and nonprofits alike, we have made the choice to go back to being a grassroots organization in 2026.

This means that we will be allowing our nonprofit status to lapse so that 100% of f-nds can be directed to survivors and their needs!

Don't worry - this vital work continues!

What Does This Mean for Donors? πŸ’Έ

Nothing really! You will still be able to g!ve towards the work that we do and we are still happy to provide receipts for where f-nds go! You just won't be able to claim it on your taxes come tax time (2027)

We simply won’t be spending thousands of d*llars to retain nonprofit and 501c3 (tax-free status) anymore. The majority of our supplies are provided by individuals anyway and our only true costs are usually for shipping and our website domain. This means we can direct resources, mutual aid and fill more needs without limitations.

I'm New Here...What Exactly Is A Survivor Card? πŸ€”

Hope. Healing. Solidarity.
Each Survivor Card is a trauma-informed, volunteer-written message to invoke these feelings in each recipient.

They are intended for survivors of trauma of any kind, include resources to get help, as well as some snail mail, self-care goodies.

They’re anonymous, mailed discreetly and tangible so survivors have something physical that shows them they’re cared for.
