An open letter to participants

First off, thank you.

Thank you for taking a few moments out of your day to brighten someone else's. Detroit hasn't had the best reputation, but community members like yourself know the potential it has. We have already seen the city come LEAPS AND BOUNDS from rock bottom, and we have the vision to see where it can go. Encouragement for one another is the first step to seeing our city thrive. Keep spreading good thoughts and words in your everyday life. Detroiters have blue-collar hospitality and humility that is unmatchable, and this is proof.

Detroit Love Letters: The Start

This project is still in its infancy, and the best way we can nuture it is through letter writing! Spread the word! Tell your family, friends, coworkers, and whoever else cares to listen about the project, and encourage them to take the time to submit a letter. Who knows, maybe you will get one of their letters one day when you need that unexpected boost to make it through a tough day.
