The Letters Written Down at Last

Two hours with someone who'll write down what they want to say, to whoever they want to say it to.

$200

Arranged and priced after a short call so we can understand what is needed.

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.

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
  • Handwritten card with the giver's message.

Why this helps

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.
