Our Story

“During my time volunteering at a hospital, I got to know a patient who was genuinely loved by the staff. He was kind, full of wisdom, and always had a story to tell. On his last day, I wrote him a letter. When I handed it to him, he smiled before even opening it, just knowing someone had taken the time to write him one. And that small act stuck with me, and it's what inspired me to start Handwritten Hope.”

- Jonathan George, Founder & Rickards Chapter President
