Helping patients find their voices. Helping writers connect with patients.
We strive to create a platform where patients and writers can connect through the beautiful language of poetry.
Join us in our efforts to alleviate the emotional burdens of sickness.
Your words are powerful. Write a poem for patients currently suffering in hospitals. Poetry can be in any form– even sweet messages or letters can count as poetry. Share your love, kindness, and creativity with those who need support now more than ever.
Hospital/Organization Supporters!
“It seems like this project isn’t just about words on paper—it’s about building a caring community where people from all walks of life come together to support those going through rough patches... This is a prime example of the incredible power of human connection and the arts in the world of healthcare.”
