As Seen On:

Sharing You Matter cards reinforces how important it is to feel seen, to feel cared for, and to know that we belong. ―Bradley

I’ve loved watching people’s faces light up when I give them a card and tell them how much they make a difference. I also love giving them anonymously by leaving them in a store or in someone’s house when I visit.

―Brooke

I gave a You Matter card to the cashier at Publix and she said “You just made my day!” As I walked away, I heard her tell someone else, “She just told me that I matter!” What she doesn’t know is the high it gave me.

―Gina

Today I took clothes and purses to a local rehab for women. As I passed out my You Matter cards, I saw hope in each ladies eyes. Best Christmas ever.

―Kim

I gave each child in my homeroom a You Matter card and signed it. Then I went around and shared with each of them why they mattered to me. It created a great atmosphere and encouraged communication.
