What is the Chronic Warrior Card Swap?
So glad you asked! The Card Swap is a free monthly event where those who live with long-term illness, rare disease, paralysis, long COVID, or disability send “snail mail” or digital messages of hope and encouragement to one another. Warriors get matched with two unique connections each month – one to send TO and one to receive FROM. To date, we’ve had participants from 27 countries. Love cheering on a fellow warrior?! What are you waiting for? Sign up today – the next card swap starts on the 1st!

Meet This Month's
SWAP SPONSOR
Thank you to Harper Family Charitable Foundation for supporting this month's Card Swap. Mr. Robert Harper and his generous foundation have played a huge role in supporting our vision and the ability to match thousands of warriors!
Types of Cards Our Warriors Sending:
Hand written letter, your own artwork, a handmade card, a store-bought card, a download & print card, a postcard, or print one of our grab & go cards – anything goes! If you opt in, you are expected to send a card and not leave a warrior hanging OR to let us know so our extra card crew can cover it for you this time.
Are You The Artsy Type?
Go wild! Share your talent, whatever it may be. You can create something special that you know your match will love.
Handwritten Letters Are Perfect
Share a story, words of encouragement or motivation. You can uplift another Warrior in whatever way connects with you.
Join a Virtual Card Making Party
You heard that right, we host a card making party every month with a group video chat. Open to members of the CWC.
