  • Dear you, Stay

    A note for someone you know. A note for someone you don’t. A note that simply needs to be heard. Dear You, Stay is a space to write, share, and exchange words of hope. Leave a note for someone who might need it, share something you wish someone had told you, or find a note that speaks to you and write back with your own words. Write a note. Read a note. Reply with hope. You never know whose heart your words might reach.
