#postforoldjes – this is how you do it!

Fortunately, tough times also bring out the best in people. And the most creative. Such as in the case of Marjolein, who felt that her grandmother, currently isolated by the Coronavirus, in a Brabant nursing home could use a positive message. She sent her a card and then thought of all those parents at home who have to entertain their kids during this time. That useless pile of crafts will immediately become a lot more fun (and sensible) if we all turn it into cards for grandparents! 1 and 1 is 3, and so we all send lots of cards to Marjolein's grandmother, and all the other old people who will be very happy with a self-made work of art.

Okay, and then you start doing some crafts, you bought a few stamps... And then? Then together you will ensure that the large group of elderly people in Brabant (to start with) get a smile on their faces!

Your note, card, drawing or work does not have to be addressed to one person in particular, but if you want to use a salutation, something like “dear you”, “dear residents”, “dear everyone” is fantastic. The mail is viewed and read together and is sent to Marjolein so that she can ensure that all mail reaches the elderly at once. That is the most convenient way for the organization.

Please note: the mail is removed from the letterbox wearing gloves, then remains in a mail bag for a number of days and only then goes, disinfected, to the foundation. Don't worry!
