"We need more of exactly this kind of project. Providing people a way to take one small step towards love and positivity when so much feels so negative and heavy is needed right now. Love Letters is a simple yet effective way to feel like you can make an impact. How great would it be if more people were able to feel like they could make even the tiniest bit of difference in the world?" -S. Newsom
"Sondra is a woman with a ready smile who is empowering people to care. She started with an idea, invited people to join and from her heart created a ripple with the power to reach many. We’re benefitting from being involved with something that is bigger than ourselves." -S. Dumm Artist Representative & Community Coordinator SlingShot Studio & Gallery
