Spreading Positivity with Cards 2 Warriors

My Spoonie Sisters

Have you ever wondered how a small act of kindness can make a colossal difference in someone's life? Join us for an uplifting conversation with Dawn, the inspiring founder of "Cards to Warriors," who transitioned from a radiation therapist to an advocate for patients and caregivers. Dawn shares her heartfelt journey and the touching story behind this incredible initiative that spreads joy and support through "Happy Mail" to those battling illness. Discover the various ways to get involved, from receiving uplifting mail to joining the card crew and sending encouraging messages, and learn why staying connected and spreading positivity is so vital in challenging times.
Delve into the inner workings and challenges of the Cards to Warriors program in our second segment. Find out how participants can opt-in monthly, send and receive cards, and even find pen pals to share their journey with. Dawn sheds light on the special "yikes button" for emergencies, ensuring no one is left without a card, and discusses the importance of financial contributions to keep the program running. Hear about the evolution of the program, from its early days as ChronicWarriorsOrg to its current form, and the technical hurdles they've overcome to maintain privacy and security for participants.
Finally, we issue an exciting challenge: join the card crew and start spreading joy! Learn about the simple steps to sign up, maintain confidentiality, and create meaningful connections through personalized information. Dawn shares inspiring examples of various groups involved, from pre-med clubs to high schools, and emphasizes the importance of respecting preferences to make the card exchange special for everyone. Listen in to understand how your small act of kindness can foster friendships, strengthen community bonds, and bring immense joy to those who need it most.
