Ann's Writing Team - August 2026

Write to Ann.

Age: 60s + 70s
Requested by: Anonymous family member
Location: Florida, USA
Issue: Health Concerns/Illness

What’s going on? My mom, Ann, has had health problems for over a decade; a tumor in her spine caused nerve damage to her pelvic area and legs, leading to partial paralysis. She requires a walker to get around, or a wheelchair for long distances. Most recently, she had a surgery to remove her bladder (due to recurring UTIs) and she's still getting used to the urostomy bag. She's been a hard worker her whole life (with jobs including teacher and realtor, as well as dedicated homemaker), so she gets discouraged sometimes by her disability.

What do you love most about this girl? Even with all her health problems, my mom Ann bears her pain with a lot of grace and resilence. She tells great stories and keeps conversation lively. She gives good advice and encouragement to others. She's also very thoughtful and a generous giver.

Anything else you want to tell us? Ann's current hobbies include diamond painting and word games (Wordle, Hurdle, Connections, as well as the cryptoquip in the newspaper). She's mother to 6 grown children, and grandmother to 9 kids. She grew up in St. Louis, Missouri, and has done a lot of travelling in her lifetime.

Stephanie's Writing Team - August 2026

Write to Stephanie.

Age: 30-something
Requested by: Sister
Location: Alaska, USA
Issue: Ovarian failure and consequent depression

What’s going on? Stephanie has had ovarian failure causing hormone imbalance and intense depression. She also lost her two closest friends (and as an introvert doesn’t have many) last year, both she used to talk to daily. She also lost her job as a biologist due to lack of funding, so has been tight financially as well. Hit hard from all sides.

What do you love most about this girl? She remembers everything- if you say your favorite food is strawberry, on your birthday she will make you a strawberry cake from scratch. Even if it is in the middle of winter and strawberries are hard to find (in Alaska). She also is incredibly witty and creative, and very good at both photography and weaving.

Anything else you want to tell us? She loves letters and snail mail but has no one writing her, and no one except myself even sent her a birthday card. She now struggles to leave the house, and has very little in the way of encouragement. She feels lonely and hopeless, and told me she wished she had someone that would send her a letter or even a card. She also gives to everyone in need, so I’d really like to see someone give back to her.
