“We came up with the idea of a simple-to-use app which combines the magic of a personal photograph with the enduring delight that people get when they receive a postcard from a friend, loved one or neighbour,” said Adrian McCusker, Founder of PostASelfie “we know how special it is for people in Nursing homes to receive a postcard so we want to do our bit to help families to stay connected and send love”
In a post Covid-19 world, Adrian hopes that the App will continue to transform cherished photographs into personalised postcards. “There are so many magical moments that we capture with our smartphones but these pictures rarely ever see the light of day.” He said “ Over the last few months families have created some beautiful ‘Missing You’ cards for grandparents. We have also noticed quite a few postcards going abroad. We even had a Postcard sent from Boston to a person in Singapore! We can send cards from anywhere in the world to anywhere in the world in any language”
