Who doesn’t like surprise mail? A Bright Spot sends uplifting messages to anyone who could use a kind letter, note, or card.

We aim to make others feel seen, heard, appreciated, supported, and loved.
We do this through supportive cards and notes. Who doesn’t like a surprise “Bright Spot in their day?”
Whatever the need for A Bright Spot, we’ll be there to brighten the day with a card or uplifting note.

We send free cards to individuals, caregivers, hospitalized children and seniors,
deployed service members, or anyone who needs a reminder that they are loved and appreciated.
