I just want to thank you for the signs you have out. I often get the urge to give up. Tonight was one of those nights. Couldn’t help but cry after I saw them while driving past. Didn’t expect it, but it helped! - Note left on a church door in Ohio on Christmas Eve 2019

I gave a card to an auto-repair technician who went above and beyond for me in a challenging situation. It was extraordinary to watch his whole demeanor change: He relaxed and stood up straighter, and smiled for the first time in all of our interactions. The card said, "There is hope for the world; Thank you for being you.” - Sergio, Providence, RI

I have been using these for years in the parent groups that I lead. When I tell them to "Take What They Need," they light up and carefully choose the messages that speak to them. Some parents even tear up, emotional that the card will give them exactly the motivation they need to handle whatever they are dealing with. For myself, I kept the "You Can Do It" card on my dashboard during a difficult time and it truly gave me strength and hope when I needed it. - Laura, Natick, MA
