Dear Mama Mail serves to remind special needs moms that they’re not the only one.
Inspired by Amy’s own special needs parenting journey
After releasing her first EP in 2021, Amy Sullivan found herself drawn to the special needs community as she shared her own story of parenting a child with a diagnosis. As she began to cultivate an online community for parents, she realized a common theme most mothers on this journey seemed to struggle with most: isolation.
While many in-person support groups are running again, not everyone has access to one. Some of the rarest conditions out there don’t even have one in the first place. There are so many moms who don’t have someone in real life that they can talk to, and that can understand the highs and lows of this journey.
Since the idea of being able to reach each one of these moms was impossible, it was time to come up with another way.
The idea of Dear Mama Mail was born, and with it, the chance to connect and encourage with even the most isolated moms out there.
By sending a physical card each month, moms are able to look forward something arriving in the mail that’s just for them. Something they can tangibly hold and come back to in the future on the hard days when they need the most encouragement.
With every month focused on a different topic close to the special needs mama heart, recipients can expect to be supported on themes like dealing with a diagnosis, feelings of loneliness, finding gratitude, and hope for the journey.
With a heartfelt letter written directly to each mama's heart from Amy's own, Dear Mama Mail offers comfort and hope to special needs moms everywhere.
Andrea S:
“Dear Mama Mail is a beautiful way to support yourself as a special needs mom or to support a friend whose child has been recently diagnosed. As a mom of a special needs daughter, I tend to feel isolated and alone. I received my first Dear Mama Mail card on a particularly difficult day, and I started sobbing as soon as I read the thoughtful and supportive message. I've never felt so seen. It was just what I needed to get through the rest of my week.”
