You Matter Moment of the Week
“I became a YuMMie in your first year and have continued giving about 5-10 You Matter cards out each month since then. When I first started, I was out of work. Handing out cards helped me feel useful in the world.
Once I started working, I secretly placed a card on every person’s desk in the new workplace. Eighteen months later, our company relocated, and I noticed that many people kept their You Matter card and still have them on their desks!
During the Hurricane Harvey flood, I lost my home and all my possessions. But when I got into an apartment, one of my first purchases was a new supply of YM cards. I needed the constant reminder that I Matter as I struggled with the losses, and I needed the emotional boost of reminding others that they matter, too.
I’ve shared the YM message and cards to groups as well. Each time, people wanted more cards and the message was extremely well received.
One person passed the YM card to a ministry that gives foster children backpacks with essential supplies. The ministry was ecstatic to get the cards. They had been looking for a way to let the kids know that they matter, and this was a simple, yet profound way to do that. A card is now packed in each backpack.
Blessings to you and to your efforts. You have touched my soul and I have tried to pass it forward.”
