About DearYou,

Founder's Journey

International student journey from Hong Kong to the United States

My journey from Hong Kong to the United States

In 2012, I arrived in the United States as an international student from Hong Kong, eager to begin my college journey. Over the years, I've called Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Washington DC home before settling in New York City.

As life moved forward, I found myself thinking about childhood friends, families back in Hong Kong, and college classmates now scattered across the globe. I remembered our shared all-nighters, exciting parties, and countless meaningful moments.

The truth was bittersweet—I wished I had stayed in touch. I realized that all I needed was a simple letter once a year to let them know I still cared about our connection. That's how DearYou, was born.

Why Letters Matter

A handwritten letter with personal touches

The personal touch of a handwritten letter

In this era of bite-sized content, letters stand apart. They invite us to slow down, reflect deeply on our relationships, and put genuine heart into our words.

A letter isn't just communication — it's a tangible piece of yourself, crafted with intention and care that transcends the digital noise of our everyday lives.

DearYou, exists to revive this art of meaningful communication, helping strengthen relationships that withstand the test of time.
