Letters requesting "Thousands for Free" cards
Thousands for Free...
For over 55 years, Alfred Mira gave his love and energy through service. In 1969 he founded a nonprofit titled Thousands For Free, in which he printed over 145 million "God Bless You" cards, "Jesus in Me Loves You" cards, and many more inspiring titles. The ministry closed in 2026, after Alfred’s passing.
This ministry was completely funded by donations from benefactors, who made this project possible for many years. Many benefactors were life-long donors who contributed to the mission. For a wonderful story of his God Bless You cards, Click Here!
Books for Prisons...
For over 30 years, Alfred collected discarded books from libraries around the Greater Boston area and brought them to local prisons. He did this without any outside support or financial assistance.
