I am new to AARP pen pals so not sure how it works? I use a tablet or computer as my hand contractúres makes it difficult to write. I am 75, live alone and a retired Disability Law Advocate. I thought this would be a good social connection. My name is Marion.

Hi Ingrid,  So sorry to hear about the loss of your husband.  I live with mine and my mom and dont know how I would live without either one so I can relate.  When I lost my grandmother it was very bad. Let's be friends and heal together from our grief and fears.  How do we chat by texting, email or messenger?

Good evening, 

I am looking for a pen pal myself. I am about to turn 31 and was recently married. I am looking for someone who wouldn’t mind weekly, biweekly, or monthly email correspondence. I look forward to hearing from you! Happy Holidays!

Hi...my name is Jo Ann and I would like to be a pen pal to a senior.  I enjoy writing and have many interests.  I am not looking for any type of relationship other than just helping to enrich someone's life with a letter in the mail.  Preferably a "shut in" or someone that just enjoys receiving mail (all of us, right!)

Good morning Jodi,

I am Debra and I’m still trying to figure out how this pen pal stuff works. I will be 70 in September. I was a CNA In an Alzheimer’s and behavioral management unit for 28 years. I have two children, a son and a daughter and three grandchildren. I live in Southern New Jersey. I am married to my best friend and we will be married 52 years in March. I would love to have a pen pal. I’m not sure how this works or how we exchange our address. I look forward to hearing from you.

Debra

I'm very sorry to read that you lost your Mom recently.  I lost mine too, and we were very close,

especially for the last ten years of her life.  I hope you'll carry her memory close in your heart.

I care.

Good day,

 

I am not an AARP member but am just looking for people who are interested in receiving a letter or postcard, or exchanging them, during this strange time. 
I am not sure how to receive/send messages here and it seems we can't post our e-mail addresses, but if you know how to respond and are interested, please do!

 

I have 2 dogs, 2 rabbits, 5 chickens and 4 acres.  Hope to hear from someone who could use a piece of mail to brighten their day!

Hi there! My name is Lily and I am looking for a penpal. I'm 65 and have been pretty active and independent all my life. I divorced at a late age and I'm trying to navigate life post divorce. I would like to share and enjoy someone's perspective on a lot of different subjects and in life in general. I've been in the field of behavior health most of my life and find people of all walks of life interesting. I believe that we can manifest our future and try to stay positive and in the moment. I like to travel and create special memories and enjoy friends and family as often as i can. I also like my down time and can marathon some new show on Netflicks and order in some good Chinese food. I am comfortable alone and with others. I have sisters and a lot of friends that are like sisters. I have  brothers and male friends that have been like brothers so I'm comfortable with either. 

I thought of seeking a pen pal due to the corona virus and not being able to go out and enjoy the outdoors, classes and volunteering.
