When I started my Calligraphy business, I needed some gorgeous samples to photograph for the website. Rather than write pretend letters that I'd never send, I contacted Robert at Letters Against Depression and asked if he'd mind me sending a batch of special letters out to some of his participants. I picked LAD because they support two things that I love - writing letters and mental health advocacy.

Letters Against Depression supports those battling mental illness through the power of handwritten letters. Since 2014, over 5,000 volunteers have written over 40,000 letters brimming with messages of hope and solidarity to people from over 60 countries.An easy to navigate volunteer portal designed by founder Robert Mason connects volunteers letter-writers with those who are fighting mental illness -and are brave enough to reach out to LAD and share their story. By submitting a short bio to the portal and updating it yearly, recipients get more than a generic note or two in the mail. Within a few weeks, individuals start to get 2-4 thoughtful, personalized, handwritten letters a month, as well as birthday and holiday cards.

Hello, I'm Katrina. Thanks for giving me a reason to practice my craft of calligraphy. I'm glad you took some time to check out my website and see who bothered to spend all that time making you something beautiful.
I did it because you checked the rainbow colored box on your LAD profile- the one that said "I celebrate Pride Day!" and I wanted to show my support by making you something personalized just for you,. You deserve to be celebrated!

Coordinating this Pride Day mailing for 14 LAD recipients gave me great insights into the best ways to organize my envelopes and cards for a large job, what not to wear while working with ink, and how to use Excel to sort names and addresses.
I made sure to give myself time to experiment with different tools and templates, and figure out when the light is best in my studio for taking indoor pictures.
