Words Of Strength
A Call to Men Who Care
Words of Strength
A letter may seem like a small thing… but when it’s written with purpose, it becomes a seed of healing.
Why This Matters
A Personal Note from Jennifer Ritter, Founder of The Magnolia Project
As a survivor, I can tell you—words are powerful. They can tear you down or build you back up. Many of the women in our program have never heard a man say, ‘You are valuable just as you are.’ That’s why we created this initiative. You may never meet the woman who receives your letter. But your words may be the very thing that reminds her that healing is possible. Thank you for being a voice of strength, in a world that desperately needs more of them.
WHY WE ARE ASKING FOR YOU
The Power of Your Words
At The Magnolia Project, our Foundation for the Future program helps women who have faced trauma, poverty, abuse, and generational hardship reclaim their strength and rebuild their lives. But as they do the hard inner work of transformation, they also need something else—something powerful that only you can give: a reminder that good men exist. That their lives matter. That their voices are heard. That they are seen.
We created Words of Strength to be just that—a gift of support from men who are standing up for change.
Your letter may be anonymous, but its impact will be unforgettable.
LIFT A WOMAN
What Is a “Word of Strength” Letter?
It’s not about fixing. It’s about seeing.
These are not love letters or advice columns. They’re reminders from kind, compassionate men in our community that say:
-
“I see your courage.”
-
“You are not what you’ve been through.”
-
“You deserve to feel safe, to feel loved, to dream again.”
-
“You are already enough.”
Each woman in our program will receive a packet of sealed letters during our closing ceremony. For many, it may be the first kind, safe, and affirming message from a man they’ve ever received.
