Big Donation for Matsubaen!
On Saturday 3/7, YouMeWe donated 23 computers to young adults who have aged out of Matsubaen.
As they begin their next chapter, whether continuing their education, searching for jobs, or building independent lives, we hope these computers help support their goals and create new opportunities.
We wish all of them the best of luck as they move forward. We are cheering you on. 💙

This Valentine's Day, let's talk about real love - community love!
Forget the chocolate boxes. The most valuable gift you can give isn't something you buy at a store. It's your time, your presence, your mentorship.
Salesforce send Love Letters..A-Z flashcards for children’s homes.
Every week, our volunteers show up for the children in our programs. They give 2 hours that change lives. They help young people in institutional care prepare for their futures with English tutoring, life skills, and simply knowing someone cares.
That's community love in action.
This week, will you join our village? Give 2 hours of your time. Show up for a young person who needs to know they matter.
Because raising children takes all of us. And showing up is just the right thing to do.

Shinnenkai & Charity Lunch
We attended the Shinnenkai & Charity Lunch in Nagoya on January 24th to support the Star Chamber, the aged out youth that the Chubu Children’s Fund and YouMeWe support through the Mark Bell Scholarship funds. We assist the increasingly successful number who graduate with their degrees from University. We gave five laptops to the new scholars and watched in awe as they move forward.
