Thank you for participating in Power Blossoms’ Letter-Writing Project! These cards mean so much to our queer and trans family inside.

All submissions through our online system will be printed on greeting cards and mailed by hand in a timely manner so that we can help our LGBTQ family feel celebrated on their birthday.

Power Blossoms covers all costs related to printing and postage. If you would like to help support this program or our other projects, you can find out how to do so via our donate page.

HOW TO WRITE A BIRTHDAY CARD:

  1. SCAN THE TABLE BELOW to see all the people still in need of a card today

    **Note: Use “Filter” and “Sort” to search by category

  2. CLICK ON ANY CARD to read more about that person

  3. CLICK THE PURPLE LINK AND FILL OUT THE FORM to declare that you’ll be writing them a card.

    **Note: If the second question on this form is empty, someone else is already writing to that individual. Refresh this page and look for another birthday celebrant!

  4. AFTER SUBMITTING, FOLLOW THE LINK to find the person you’re writing to! Your name will now appear on their card.

  5. CLICK THE PINK LINK AND FILL OUT THE FORM to write your letter and celebrate together!

    **Note: Handwritten cards and artwork are encouraged (but not required)! Feel welcome to upload a scan or photo of your birthday greeting and we will make sure it gets delivered.

  6. MULTIPLE SUBMISSIONS ARE GREAT!

    You may write cards to several different people if you have the capacity to do so; however, please aim for quality over quantity. Cards should be unique to each celebrant!

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

  1. We will print, package, and mail your message to its intended birthday recipient. (Messages will be sent inside themed greeting cards!)

  2. If you feel compelled to do more after writing, get involved in Power Blossoms or donate to help cover the cost of this and other programs we run. If you’d like to take on the commitment of writing to someone inside on a regular basis, consider becoming a penpal!
