Help Writing the Letters That Need Writing
Two hours with someone who'll write down what they want to say, to whoever they want to say it to.
- Hands-on, on Prince Edward Island
- Can be scheduled
Arranged after a call. Some things we arrange after a short call, so we can check the details and make sure we can do it properly. Tell us what's needed and we'll come back with what's possible and what it would cost. Nothing is charged until you've agreed to it.
What this is
Two hours with someone who sits and writes while they talk. Letters to children or grandchildren, a note to open later, instructions nobody has written down, or a reply to the cards that have piled up. We type or handwrite it, read it back, and leave it with them to keep or send. Nothing is kept, copied or used by Fare-Well without their explicit permission. This can also be reading aloud, or going through mail that has become overwhelming. PEI only at launch.
What's included
- Two hours with someone who writes while they talk
- Letters written, typed or by hand, and read back
- Mail and correspondence sorted if they'd rather
- Everything left with them, nothing kept by Fare-Well
- Fare-Well handwritten card with your message
- A handwritten Fare-Well card with your message, and a memorial birdseed ornament.
Why we chose this
People at the end of their lives have things they want said and no strength left to write them. Handwriting fails before the mind does. This is the visit families tell us afterward that they'd have paid anything for, and it's also the one nobody thinks to buy.
