It can be challenging being away from school, friends, and activities but sometimes something as simple as a letter with a message of of support can make a difference.
UF CWC’s AWARE Care Mail is a unique way for Gators to connect and show compassion, support, and understanding.
Once you submit your request for a message of support it will be anonymously sent to one of the UF CWC’s AWARE Ambassadors who will write you back within 5-7 business days. It’s your own personal AWARE Care Bear!
