What Is a Buddy Check?
What Is a Buddy Check?
A Buddy Check is a simple way to reach out and remind someone they’re not alone. It’s about connection — a call, a text, a walk, or a handwritten note. For veterans and first responders, these small check-ins can make a life-changing difference.
Check in on someone today. You never know who might need it.
About the Postcard
About the Postcard
This postcard was placed in your hands for a reason.
Whether you received it in a care package or at an event, it’s meant to keep the chain of support going.
Write a short message, sign your name, and send it to someone who might need to hear, “You matter.”
If you received a postcard in the mail — this is your sign to reach out to someone else.
Pay it forward. Your buddy check starts here.
Why It Matters
Why It Matters
Every day, an estimated 22 veterans die by suicide. Your small act of kindness could be the moment that helps someone stay connected, find hope, or reach out for help.
