This Father’s Day greetings card marketplace thortful.com is working with Cards to Heaven to remember fathers who are no longer with us. Sales will generate a donation to Life for a Life, creating community woodlands in the UK.
Thortful have created a special collection honouring these dads. “100% of the profits” from this collection will be donated to the charity.
Cards to Heaven founder Vyvyan Greenall explains:
“I thought about creating Cards to Heaven after losing my Dad. His loss was so painful, and I felt it so much during special times like birthdays, anniversaries and especially on Father’s Day. I wanted to write a card to my Dad and had nowhere to send it.
“It saddened me to send a card which I then put on a grave, to see it destroyed by the rain before being removed. I didn’t think I’d be alone feeling like this and Cards to Heaven was created. The Facebook page is a visual memorial to remember these very special Dads, where you can send a physical card and have the message to your Dad displayed.”
The new Starling Wood will be created by planting 8,000 trees, creating a bio-diverse woodland which will become a home for many species of birds and other wildlife as well a place of refuge for the local community. We don’t aim to stop there, as the project will go even further than just creating a new woodland.
Completion of the project “will lead to the raising of £90,000 that will be donated to hospices and health related organisations that support those in the community”.
Deputy CEO Emma Scott from Life for a Life said:
“Working with thortful and Cards to Heaven has given the Starling Wood restoration even greater meaning, helping to turn the pain of loss into something positive, especially on a special but sometimes difficult day like Father’s Day”.
Thortful is an online greetings card marketplace, providing a platform for independent creatives to sell their designs from all over the globe.
