Listening Friends of America is a partially federally-funded non-profit organization that serves isolated communities across the United States.  Our mission is to provide emotional support for those most in need by promoting therapeutic correspondence.   

There are thousands of isolated men and women living in prisons, nursing homes, hospice care, and psychiatric wards across the country who are in need of a positive outlet.  LFoA believes everyone deserves a shoulder to cry on and a friend to confide in.  Our clients only ask for you to accept them; to receive their packages; and to listen.   

Studies have shown that letter writing -- even with the knowledge there will be no reply -- is far more beneficial than private journaling.  The act of sending thoughts out into the world in itself possesses a freedom unknown to many.
