An open letter to our neighbors experiencing homelessness

To our neighbors experiencing homelessness,

We’re honored that you have found your way to Miracle Messages.

If you’re looking to reconnect with a beloved friend or family member, we're here to help. We have a community of 'digital detectives,' including a professional private investigator. We know that relationships are incredibly important, but not always easy. To-date, we have facilitated over 800 reunions – and we'd love to try to help you, too.

Give us a call at 1-800-MISS-YOU, or use this form to share your message for your loved ones with us. You can also ask a caseworker to help, if you have one. We can't promise we will find your loved ones, or what the outcome will be. But we can promise to honor your message as we would want others to honor a message from a member of our own family.

But we also know that for many of us, we are already in touch with loved ones, or there is no one to reconnect to. That's okay. We also offer a phone buddy program called Miracle Friends. This digital pen pal program will match you with a volunteer from anywhere in the US (or the world!) for short weekly phone calls or text messages, just to offer friendship as someone to talk to.

If you are interested in getting matched with a phone buddy, just call us at 1-800-MISS-YOU, or use the same form as above.

Everyone is someone’s somebody – thank you for being our neighbor. And please feel free to spread the word about Miracle Messages to others who you think might benefit from our programs, or reach out to us if you think we can help in any other way.

All the best,

Kevin and the team at Miracle Messages
