“Text for Humanity” Lets You Send Uplifting Messages to Strangers

There’s a nonprofit called Mental Health America that’s been around for over 100 years. They recently launched a new program that lets you send inspirational text messages to total strangers. It’s called “Text for Humanity” and here’s how it works…. you text your first name, the country you’re from and a short, uplifting message that’s no more than 160 characters. A random person somewhere in the world will get it. Then you’ll get a positive message from someone else a few minutes later. You have to sign up to get the texts. Over 10,000 messages have already been sent. If you want to try it out, just text the word “join” to the number 3-7-3-5-2. then it’ll guide you through the rest.
