San Diego Letter/ Art Interest Form
Thank you so much for reaching out! As you know, this project is all about helping elders in our town during the pandemic. They will appreciate it more than you know, so thank you for helping out. You can either write a letter to a resident, or create any sort of artwork to give to them. Some of the nursing homes we reached out to gave us a list of names of their residents so if you decide to write a letter, we may be able to tell you who to address it to. Make sure to put your name so we can know who the letter is from.

Letter ideas:
•introduce yourself
•ask questions about their life & tie it in with info about your life (ex: my favorite food is pizza, what is yours?)
• explain your interests (music, sports, reading) & 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. For example you could say, “I really love playing soccer and I practice all the time. Is there something you are really passionate about? Now would be a good time to look into it or read about it!")
•let them know they are loved and their family misses them
•tell them we are thinking of them and we will all get through this tough time
-just write from your heart like it’s your grandma and you miss them too!

Art ideas:
Anything! Even drawing a rainbow to show happiness. The smallest things make the elderly happy because they don’t get to see much art, and the thought that someone made it just for them brightens their day :)

You can also combine the two... write a letter and draw something on the other side.
 
Please fill this out if you decide to write a letter or make art so that we can give you the name of a resident! If you have any other questions, just let me know.

How many letters do you want to write? (This also counts as an art piece) *
Would you like to drop off your letter/art, have it picked up, or submit it digitally? (Drop off is encouraged, then pick up, and digital is if you live too far for either) *
For drop off- here are the addresses where we are collecting letters/art. You can choose whichever one is most convenient for you. *
For pick up - what is your address?
For virtual (letting people handwrite your note is encouraged- handwritten notes are more personal and meaningful to elders!) *
When can you have it done by *
Are you interested in donating anything to the nursing homes (books, games, art supplies, diabetic socks, etc.) *
Can you send this link to other people you think might be interested? *
Wait for us to reach out to you directly before you start writing/drawing!
This is because some facilities are giving us information about the residents we are writing to. We may be able to provide you with a name and interests of someone which will make the letter more personal and meaningful.
Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to do this! Make sure to mark your letter/artwork with your name (if you don't want to write it directly on it, you can attach a post it note with your name on it when dropping it off). This is to ensure we have collected all of the letters and we know whose we are missing. We highly suggest the letter is in an envelope, not sealed.
We will reach out to you through email/text for more details and information :)
