Who We Are:
ShareaCard was started in 1999 by Suzanne Virostek, as a special program of the Creatacard Friends on the web to send cards to seriously ill “Friends in Need”. To date, we have Featured hundreds of people from across the U.S. and Canada! Previous Features have told us over and over how much it means for them to receive cards from people they don’t even know. They have expressed feelings of comfort in knowing that others are thinking of them and praying for them while they are going thru this tough time.
We believe we can make a difference in the lives of others, just one card at a time!
In 2004, Suzanne sadly passed away from a 7mth battle with Ovarian Cancer. Prior to her passing, she asked for the assistance of Kathy Yordy who now runsShareaCard.org and Cacfriends.com with the help of some great moderators.
In April, 2007, Shareacard became incorporated and in August 2007, we became a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization!
How it Works:
Each month, we feature one or two individuals who are seriously ill and in need of encouragement. A webpage is constructed especially for them and posted on ShareaCard.org. Our members and people who come across our organization while surfing the web, mail cards/gifts to our Features at our central post office box. We respect the privacy of our Features and never post their last name or their home mailing address. All cards are sent to the ShareaCard mailing address and then disbursed to their addresses from there. They will remain on our “active” mailing list as long as we receive updates on their condition.
To submit a Feature, update their status or send comments, you can use the proper form located on each page under the “Submit a Feature” header tab.
Privacy Statement:
** At ShareaCard, we realize privacy is of great importance. ShareaCard uses it’s best efforts to protect and respect the privacy of our online visitors, our members and our submitted Features. We will not sell or share your information with any third parties. As an added security measure, we never release the last names or home mailing addresses of our Features. If you have any questions regarding our privacy policy, please email Kathy @ webmaster@shareacard.org
Our Mission:
The mission of ShareaCard is to send a message of encouragement to those suffering from serious illness and in need of cheer. This will happen thru the mailing of greeting cards to those in need.
