The Dad Letter Project
Sometimes, you just need a dad.
So we send you one.
A real letter. From a real dad. Written just for you.
Whether you need a little encouragement, some unsolicited dad advice, a terrible joke, or simply a reminder that someone cares — we're here to put that feeling in your mailbox.
A LETTER FROM DAD
Just when you need it most.
The Dad Letter Project connects people who could use a little encouragement with dads who are willing to sit down, pick up a pen, and write.
No algorithms.
No automated messages.
Just a dad, a pen, and a piece of paper.
And sometimes, that's exactly what you need.
Request a Dad Letter below (It’s Like a Hug, But on Paper)
If you want a pick-me-up from a dad who writes better letters than he texts, you’re in the right place. One of our esteemed dads will write you a letter just for you.

The Dad Letter Project is a volunteer-based initiative where kind-hearted dads write letters to people who could use a little encouragement, a funny story, or just a reminder that someone out there cares.
While our dads love being dads and are here to share positivity, please know they are not licensed therapists, counselors, or mental health professionals. The letters are not a substitute for professional mental health support, therapy, or crisis intervention.
If you are in need of mental health support, please consider reaching out to these resources that are better equipped to help:

All letters are written with kindness and good intent, but The Dad Letter Project, its volunteers, and its organizers are not responsible for how messages are interpreted.
By requesting a letter, you acknowledge that this is a volunteer-run project and letters are sent as personal gestures, not as professional advice, guidance, or counseling.
We do not collect or share sensitive personal information beyond what you choose to submit in your request.
The content of the letters is not reviewed by licensed professionals and should not be considered therapeutic or diagnostic.
