Please help me with this sentence

Question

Please help me with this sentence that I received from a co-worker for a form letter we are using.

"It's people like you who care, that makes a difference."

or "It's people like you who care, that makes the difference."

Does "make" need to be plural (makes) to match the word people or does "make" need to match the word "you" (singular)?

Should I take out the "who care"?

It's people like you that make a difference.

Do I need to continue the sentence?

or It's people like you that makes a difference in the lives of children....

or just leave it the way it was?

Thanks for your help

"It's people like you who care, that makes a difference." Intellegible but I think it was punctuated incorrectly. The comma should be after "you". I would rephrase it to : It's caring people like you who make the different.

or " It will take caring people like you to make a difference in the world we live."

Does "make" need to be plural (makes) to match the word people or does "make" need to match the word "you" (singular)?
Poeple = plural = make
Should I take out the "who care"?
It's people like you that make a difference.

Do I need to continue the sentence?
or It's people like you that makes a difference in the lives of children....

It's caring people [such as]/ like you who can make a difference in the lives of these children,

or just leave it the way it was?
