Sending Cards during Covid-19!

Help me give my students love during this COVID-19 crisis. They are feeling nervous and scared. I would like to send each one of them a handwritten card. It will be comforting and will be a primary source!

My Students

My students live in rural Louisiana. They are on the lower socioeconomic end. Most of them live in mobile, rent houses. Most students have not left the town, nor have their parents. In spite of all of this, they are sweet and well behaved! Their parents care about their child's education and want them to do well!

My Project

Louisiana has one of the highest numbers of cases of COVID-19, per capita, in the U.S. There is a good chance I will not be able to teach the students (live) again. We did not even get a chance to say goodbye. I would like to send each of them a card. I would like them to have something to remember me by. If they save the card it will, later be a primary source. Stamps and cards are very expensive, please help me provide this service to my students.
