Write to a sister

Letters for the ones carrying the weight.

Remember waiting for the post? Letters folded twice, doodles in the margins, a friend who actually knew you. That's what this is. Step off the feed, find the sister whose story feels familiar, and write to her like you mean it.

Find a pen pal

How it works

Three small steps

  1. One

    Join the list

    Sign in, choose letters by post, email or either, and share what you'd love to write about.

  2. Two

    Browse and say hello

    Read other members' profiles and send a short hello to someone whose story resonates.

  3. Three

    She says yes

    We pass your hello on. If she'd like to write back, we introduce you both by email with the contact details you each chose to share.

Good to know

You're in control

  • Nobody sees your email or address until you've both said yes. Then letter writers swap postal addresses, and email writers swap email addresses.
  • Pen pals are separate from the gift exchanges. No gifts expected, though a postcard never hurt anyone.
  • You can take yourself off the list at any time, and saying “not right now” to a hello is always fine. We'll let her know kindly.
  • Be kind, and only share what you're comfortable with. If anything ever feels off, email admin@deareldestdaughter.co.

Nobody sees your contact details unless you both say yes. See our privacy notice.
