thank you so much to everyone who has supported this project over the last 3 years. thanks to you, we've sent around 20,000 cards and showed so many people just how loved they are. I will be eternally grateful for this opportunity, it has changed my life.

I am very sorry for my terrible communication this year. I promise to do better in future if given a position of trust like this. there is context, which you can read about at the link I shared, but context is not an excuse. thank you for your understanding and patience.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: please take the time to read this. I hope you all understand. In light of this change, please make sure you are only sending holiday/Christmas cards this year, not birthday cards. thank you all for your continued support ❤️🌈https://t.co/0H6O5tVEgU

@_thebrunswick_ hi! sorry about the late response, been dealing with some health complications. more holiday/christmas cards would be good please!

[The Rainbow Cards Project @rainbowcards]

I will be updating the website to reflect this change as soon as I have the necessary time and energy. please bear with me in the meantime as my health is still a bit unstable at the moment!

also, apologies to those of you who are waiting on replies to emails, I know I was supposed to catch up on those 2 weeks ago but unfortunately with my recent health complications that hasn't been possible. I plan to get back to everyone in the next few days though.

this year I sent 8000+ cards to LGBTQ+ people with unsupportive families to make them feel less alone at Christmas.
I want to do it again in 2020, but postage costs are high and if I can’t raise the funds I won’t be able to.
so please donate & retweet!🎄https://t.co/6SbiHJCDbo

thinking about all the LGBTQ+ folks without a family to celebrate with today. please help us help them feel less isolated - without your donations this project will not be able to continue to send holiday cards to isolated lgbtq+ folks: https://t.co/6SbiHJCDbo

[The Rainbow Cards Project @rainbowcards]

thank you so much to everyone who wrote cards or donated funds. you have made a difference to isolated lgbtq+ folks this festive season and it means a lot, both to me & them. I’ve heard back from several recipients already who were really impacted by the cards they received
