Postcards to the Front (Canada / Канада)

Canadians sending postcards with messages of support and encouragement to Ukraine’s frontline Defenders.

Low-tech communication that reaches the heart

It can take up to 2-3 months before your card lands in the hands of a Defender. Do you wonder how your card is received?

With gratitude. And with tears. It’s true!

Tamara recently visited a wounded Defender in hospital, hand-delivering four cards to him. After reading the first couple of sentences of the first card, he had to stop, saying “I will read these later.” Tamara could see the tears in his eyes.

Some days later, she received a midnight call. Terrified that it was unwelcome news, she answered, to hear the voice of her injured ‘brother’, returned to the front lines.

“He said he had shown those four cards to his group and they want more! He said they all were crying! That’s insane … that the cards could make so much impact. They ask for more! In the midnight!”

Your cards are crucial low-tech communication of care and support that reaches the heart.

Thank you all! Please keep writing.
