2017 YuMMie Update-November 1, 2017

We are each other’s harvest; we are each other’s business; we are each other’s magnitude and bond.
―Gwendolyn Brooks

Dear YuMMies (my term of endearment for YMM participants):

It’s the official LAUNCH DAY for the 2017 You Matter Marathon!

Thanks to all of you, we are ready to unleash the You Matter Magic into the world.Because my excitement can’t be contained, I’ll be hosting my first everlive Facebook post at 7pm EST tonight to personally thank you for your participation.

We know many of you have been giving great thought to who you will share your first few cards with. Here’s what 2 of our YuMMies are planning:

“I work in secondary education teaching English as a foreign language, so I have plenty of people to encourage.

My first card will be given to one of our pupils. He’s been in a wheelchair pretty much his whole life and he’s constantly in pain. In a month’s time he will go in for another operation and a long stay in hospital. He’ll be away from home for several months.”
-Annaleis, the Netherlands

“My second card will be for a man who works outside every day for very little money: he is selling The Big Issue, a magazine that helps homeless people. He always has a smile ready on his face and likes chatting.”
-Helen, Wales
