About solely sunshine
OCD is a condition very close to Natalie's heart. In April 2020, she posted on her Instagram about OCD and asked if people would be willing to send her a letter of encouragement that she would send to students at an OCD treatment center. The response was great, so she decided to branch out and create Solely Sunshine. By creating this virtual letter writing platform, anyone around the world can volunteer to write a letter and help people with mental health conditions. The letters are sent to people with a variety of mental health conditions from all over the world, but mainly across The United States of America.
From a single Instagram post receiving only a couple letters, to a website receiving hundreds of letters each week, Natalie hopes to inspire people to help others through writing simple letter.

All Solely Sunshine letters are mailed off by Natalie and sent to mental health facilities across the world.
