“I was out to a restaurant on my late step daughter’s birthday who passed away in 2013 from leukemia at the age of 10.  In her honor I did a random act of kindness and paid for the people next to us eating dinner.  The waitress then gave me one of your cards.  Such an awesome project! Love it!”

“I received a You Are Loved card when I helped someone find minced garlic in the grocery store.  I was taken aback and it made me feel so wonderful that I want to do the same to others.  One stranger helping another.  The way it should be, but not found often in this world.”

“My daughter almost passed from depression 3 weeks ago and the day it happened I was handed “you are loved” it seriously impacted me it was just what I needed!! “

“I […] ordered a few cards, gave them away and often received beautiful responses from people who were touched by the energy of love connected to these cards. Often they seem to arrive at the exact right moment; someone who struggled with self doubt received the card with the text ‘you are beautiful’; someone who was feeling very alone was deeply touched by the text ‘you are loved’. I received a lot of hugs and gratitude and the meaning of ‘giving=receiving’ became palpable in this to me. Sometimes I just left a card somewhere, trusting that the person who was in need of it would find it. […] The power generated by giving is enormous.”

“I was given this card… “you are thoughtful” by a family friend…and I was taken aback by it… it’s hard to realize the good in yourself without people reminding you of it, and this card did just that… it gives you hope, it was breath of fresh air.”

“I came out to my car one day after a really long day of work and found one on my windshield…it was just something I needed that day. Since that day I have been passing them out… to my DoorDash deliveries and my Instacart deliveries. Even my kid loves to pass them out, it’s just such a wonderful thing. I know what that person feels like when they get that card whether they need it or not I know how they feel when they get it.”

“A friend gave me a “You are loved” card at just the right moment. It made a huge difference to me and now I want to give them to people in my church, to my students and to people who I encounter in passing day to day and who seem like they need a lift.”
