Our Mission

HappyGram continues to be a passion project for our whole family. While visiting his father in a Florida senior community, our dad observed the residents going through the daily ritual of trekking to their mail box. Unfortunately, an eager anticipation of mail was usually met with an empty box or junk mail to be tossed out at the nearest garbage can.

While he was watching person after person disappointed at the mailbox, a thought came through:

“How could we help get a card in those mail boxes from someone who cares?” 

Knowing many kids/adults text instead of call or write, he thought it may be easier to encourage people to send a message — similar to a text message — to their loved ones in retirement homes.

Our Dad brought home the idea of “texting your grandma.” Sitting around the family kitchen table, over a number of sessions and iterations… HappyGram was born!

Our goal is to help put a little joy in mailboxes one note at a time… we hope you find HappyGram does this for you!
