I was standing in line behind a woman in her 60s. When it was her turn to pay, the shop owner greeted 1 and asked how she was doing.

    The woman looked down, shook her head and said, “Not so 2, my husband just lost his job. I don't know how I can 3 the holidays.”

    Then she gave the shop owner the food stamps（食品券）for poor families.

    My 4 hurt, I wanted to help but didn't know 5. Should I offer to pay for her food, or ask for her husband's resume（简历）?

    When the woman read the two 10 on the card, she began to cry. Through her tears, she said, "You have no idea how much this 11  to me."

    After that, I walked into my car and began to13 too.

    The words on the card?

    "You Matter."

    A few weeks earlier, a friend gave me a similar 14 as encouragement for my work. When I read it, I really felt 15. So I ordered my own box of You Matter cards and started sharing them.
