How To Sign Virtual Card For Jimmy Carter’s Historic 99th Birthday

by Dana Daly

Published September 27, 2023

Jimmy Carter is the longest-living U.S. president

At 42 years outside of the White House, Jimmy Carter‘s retirement is the longest in American history and his upcoming 99th birthday will continue his trend of setting new historic records. Carter’s birthday is on October 1 and although his health has kept him mostly at home, all of America is welcome to celebrate with him by signing a virtual card for the former president.

Back in February, Carter entered hospice care, following a series of injuries and illnesses. Family members have revealed that he and his wife of 77 years Rosalynn are near the end of their lives. But, through The Carter Center, fellow Americans can help connect on this special day. Here’s how.

On Thursday, Carter’s grandson Jason shared an update on the former president’s health ahead of his 99th birthday. “Number one, he’s been in hospice now for over six months and so we didn’t know and we didn’t believe at the time that we were going to get to this 99th birthday but they’re doing remarkably well,” said Jason, adding, “they are coming to the end of course.”

“But they’re at peace, they are together, they’re at home, they’re in love and you don’t get much more than that.”

2019 had been a time of great difficulty for Carter, who broke his hip in mid-May, underwent surgery, injured his forehead and required 14 stitches, and suffered a black eye. In February of this year, Carter decided to forgo additional medical care and pursue hospice, following a “series of short hospital stays.” Despite this turn of events, there is a way to connect with him virtually.
