Tonight's picture was taken in March of 2004. Mattie was outside on our deck and playing in one of his tents, that had tunnels attached to it. Mattie always gravitated to these little hideaways. He typically brought all his toys and things with him, and could play in there for hours! Of course as long as he had a play companion like Peter and me. For Mattie, play was about being social and he enjoyed bringing you along for the experience!

patient. ~ Francis Peabody
Peter and I received another big item donation today. It came from Charlotte, Mattie's "girlfriend."
These items support the Mattie Miracle April Item Drive, which we established five years ago to honor Mattie's April birthday.
These items are used to stock the FREE snack/item cart that we offer to
families caring for children at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital. When
caring for a child, it is hard for family members to remember to pack items to
meet their own basic needs.
Our supporters have asked us to put together a
"WISH LIST" so that they can support this item drive anywhere in the
Country. We want to thank you for considering to use Amazon to purchase these items. Mattie
Miracle is part of Amazon's Smiles Program, so every dollar you spend, Amazon will give the Foundation 0.5% of the purchase price!!!
