Welcome to The Caring Coins!
Caring is Contagious!
Each one of us does matter!
We are all in this together!
In our unsettled world, we may wonder if we can make a difference… The answer is “Yes, we can!”
Each one of us can make a difference one person at a time. Making a difference does not have to be big or grandiose…it can be as simple as sharing our caring with simple acts of kindness like a smile, a compliment, a wave, a hi, holding a door for someone, letting a car go ahead of us. It can be text, a coin, a card, whatever…
Not only can it turn someone’s day around, it can turn our day around too. And it can give us hope for a more settled world.
“…the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love.”
—Sister Theresa
The little wooden Vermont crafted Caring Coin is a reminder of a caring connection. It is a little gift of hope…
The “I Matter, You Matter, We All Matter” card shares the I Matter, You Matter message with everyone who receives one. And it is so easy to share…

*Dreams are gifts meant to stretch our capabilities.
They beckon us to new heights. They lend direction to our lives. They are not happenstance; they are part of our destiny. Our dreams reflect the contribution we are called on to make in this life.
Think about that!
Do you have a dream or a passion? It may be something that comes to you fleetingly. It might be whimsical, whatever. You must follow your dream, even if it is just a little bit at a time. You owe it to yourself. Life is a process of steps. Take one step at a time…Just continue to climb.
Share a Caring Coin…
The little wooden Vermont crafted Caring Coins with their “I Matter, You Matter, We Matter” and “You are never alone” messages are simple tangible reminders that each one of us matters…a message we all need.
Over 150,000 Caring Coins were shared through the You Are Never Alone Foundation, a Vermont 501 (c)(3) non-profit, non-denominational organization in Vermont that fostered caring, connection and hope until it was dissolved when Salley’s husband became ill. Salley and many others continue to share Caring Coins today.
If you would like to learn more about the Caring Coins contact Salley on the contact page. You can order Caring Coins in quantities of 20 or more by visiting our Share a Caring Coin page.
You may want to design your own Caring Coin or create something yourself to share as a reminder of caring, connection and hope.
