Description:

Do you sufferer from a chronic illness or chronic pain? Would you like a pen-pal you could really open up to about your issues--someone who is having the same problems, too? Then this is a swap for you.

The swapping requirements are simple. Prepare a "welcome" package for your new pen-pal that includes the following:

  • 6 sheets of stationery (2 of 3 different designs--include the envelopes if the stationery comes with them)
  • A sticker sheet
  • 3 envelopes (unless your stationery sets came with them--then you are covered)
  • A note card or a postcard
  • Your introductory letter

I'm not going to put a required length on the letter--whatever you think you need to introduce yourself. You may want to include details about your condition--the kind of stuff you don't always want to share with new people. You may not be comfortable doing lots of sharing in the first letter but I encourage you to be as open as you are comfortable being.

Suggested rating is 4.8 but I know having chronic conditions can sometimes cause the unexpected to happen. Any ratings below that, please message me about your circumstances and I'll make a case by case decision.

Any questions, contact me.

This is a great idea! Thanks! Maybe you could start a group for people with chronic conditions? I'm in a couple more specific groups but I think it would be nice to have a group for the generalized population.

I was thinking about doing that, too.

I wish I could join but I do not meet the requirements. Funny considering my chronic condition caused it. lol
