Ready. Set. Reset.
Ready. Set. Reset. is a deck of 36 affirmation cards, original art paired with simple, grounding words, made to put something steady and hopeful into someone's hands when they need it most: before a procedure, during a hospital stay, through anxiety or grief, or in any hard stretch. Made for youth and adults alike. There's nothing to learn and nothing to play. You shuffle, draw a card, and take what it offers. One card in every deck explains even that.
“This feeling is not forever.”
What's inside
Thirty-six cards across three kinds of moments, so whatever someone is feeling, there's a card that meets them there.
Reminders
“You are still you, even now.”
Encouragement
“You can do hard things in pieces.”
Comfort
“It's okay to not be okay.”

A ten-year art journey
Ready. Set. Reset. was created by Tessa Nguyen, our Kindness Campaign Manager, drawn from her own decade of growing through hard things. She made the deck she wished she'd had, and built it into a program to reach anyone facing a hard moment.
Every card carries a piece of Tessa's own art, made across those ten years. The deck is, quite literally, a journey of growing through hard things, in one young artist's own hand.
Who it's for
Anyone moving through something hard: patients of any age in hospitals, clinics, and treatment; people facing anxiety, illness, grief, or big transitions; those in hospice, senior care, shelters, and support groups; students and the adults who care for them.
