Testimonials
“Through The Aerin Project, our students are building empathy, strengthening their writing skills, and most importantly - learning how to connect with others in a meaningful way. All while having fun!
Simple acts of kindness and heartfelt letters truly can change lives.“
-Peggy Procter, Head of School, Echo Horizon School
“Partnering with The Aerin Project over the past two years has been truly transformative for our school community. As students engage with Aerin’s powerful letters, they quickly come to understand the enduring impact of the written word. Her story inspires them to reflect more deeply and write with greater purpose, especially when composing letters of gratitude or encouragement to others in our community. These moments—of slowing down, thinking intentionally, and connecting through writing—have become some of the most meaningful experiences of the school year, both for our students and for me as an educator.”

“Through The Aerin Project, Aerin challenges all of us to lead with thoughtfulness and kindness—because that is true strength. My hope is that this movement spreads to schools and communities everywhere, reminding us that there is big power in small, kind gestures.”

Echo Horizon School
“The Aerin Project brings back the lost art of letter writing in a beautiful and authentic way that fosters connection and builds community. Aerin's creative and compassionate spirit lives on through this program, and inspires participants to embrace such qualities—as they too have the opportunity to get lost in the power of a letter.”

“I really loved writing a letter for the Aerin project the other day. I don't remember the last time I've taken a minute to pause and think back to meaningful advice I've received, so this was a great reminder of that and a fun way to pass the advice along and spread positivity. Thank you so much for sharing it with us!”

I really appreciated the opportunity to write for the Aerin Project, because it allowed me to think about all the people in the world who might be going through the same things that I am going through. In that way, I was able to reflect and give advice that I would appreciate someone saying to me. Overall, it was an eye-opening and comforting experience.
