Hospitals around the country are encouraging people to send Valentine’s Day cards to their young patients — and here’s how you can get in on sharing the love.
With Valentine’s Day landing this Friday, there is still some time to send a physical or virtual card to sick children at a number of hospitals. AtChildren’s Hospital Los Angeles, kids will get their cards hand-delivered, along with goody bags.
Not only that, but $1 will be donated to the hospital for every card sent until Feb. 12. This is all thanks to an anonymous donor who will contribute up to $25,000.
The cards include sweet notes such as “You Brighten the Cloudiest Days,” “You Have a Pizza My Heart,” and “You’re a Super Valentine!” Participants can also fill out a personalized message to the children after selecting their card.

AtBoston Children’s Hospital Trust, participants can select from three Valentine’s Day cards featuring a sloth, llama or a unicorn, before including a personal message. If they receive 10,000 Valentines, the William P. and Bella Cohen Family Foundation will send a stuffed animal to every patient, the hospital announced on theirwebsite.
