Thank you for your interest in Letters for Rose! We are an organization that gives back to elders in our community through letters and artwork.  You can either write a letter to a nursing home resident, or create artwork to give to them. In your letter, put your name so we can know who it is from.

Letter/Art ideas:
•introduce yourself
•ask questions about their life to get them thinking & tie it in w info about your life
ex: my favorite food is pizza, what is yours?
• explain your interests (music, sports) & ask for theirs
• talk about your family members, ask about theirs
(when we say ask for theirs, they aren’t able to write back so it’s more just to get their mind stimulated and thinking. So for example you could be like “I really love playing soccer and I practice all the time. Is there something you are really passionate about?)
•let them know they are loved and their family misses them
•tell them we are thinking of them, drawings and colors are appreciated

 You can also combine the two, like writing a letter and drawing something on the other side.
 
Fill out this form if you want to write a letter or make art so you can start getting involved. If you have any other questions, let us know.
 
 **Please only create digital art if you live beyond 30 minutes of Melbourne and can not drop off.
