About Us

  • From Our Hearts is a not-for-profit 501c3 that began with a simple request by a son for a few handcrafted cards so that he could send “special” cards home to his wife and children while he serving his 6th deployment in Iraq. Today, the initial dozen handcrafted cards have turned into thousands of quality, handcrafted cards created and donated to From Our Hearts every month by hundreds of stampers nationwide and shipped to our servicemen and women serving our country in Iraq and Afghanistan.

10 Year Old Evan Stamps for From Our Hearts

When Ann L from Oswego, Illinois e-mailed From Our Hearts to say that ANOTHER box was on its way, she said she had a little surprise for us.  Not only did Ann send us a box full of her own handcrafted cards (the box contained 166 cards, with envelopes and customized slips, too!!!)  . . .

Here is just one of the 25 cards Evan carefully made and his mom made him his own OWN customized slip to include with each card!

Ann sent us pictures of Evan making the cards:
