Cards of Joy was started three years ago by a very enthusiastic 9-year-old named Matthew. Now 12, Matthew has been donating his own money to Haiti ever since. Matthew learned about Haiti at the age of four through friends and family members. He began making greeting cards and selling them to family and friends. Matthew then turned to his friends and invited them to help. More and more classmates have come on board donating their time and talents to making these heartfelt cards. Last year Matthew partnered with Beyond Borders and now Cards of Joy sells cards made by Haitian artisans as well as greeting cards designed by Matthew and his friends. Matthew and Cards of Joy are proof that we all can make a difference.
