You Matter.
You Mattered Yesterday.
You Will Matter Tomorrow.
You Will Matter Every Day For The Rest of Your Life.
It’s That Simple.
It’s That True.
Believe It.

In Loving Memory of Howard Rice
We’re sad to share that Howard Rice, our most dedicated and generous YuMMie (and my dad) has passed away.
Howard believed in our mission with every fiber of his body and often stationed himself in the parking lot of his local grocery store just so he could give people who looked a bit down a You Matter card and chocolate bar.
We wanted to share Howard’s words with you now.
THE HEART OF THE MATTER
Deep inside their hearts
is where people
yearn to matter
in a world where so much is insignificant
they want to feel significant
want others to recognize their significance
The heart of the matter:
we all want to matter
to each other
to ourselves
Here, take this
what’s this?
a card that says You Matter
for me?
oh my
oh my
oh my
