Tuesday, April 30, 2019 -- Mattie died 501 weeks ago today.
Tonight's picture was taken in April of 2008. Mattie was six years old, and it was three months before he was diagnosed with cancer. Can you see why I referred to Mattie as my "little engineer?" Mattie was intrigued with how things worked even as a toddler, and by age two he knew how to use a screwdriver to disassemble and reassemble his toy cars!

As I mentioned last night, I track our Foundation's thermometer daily! Well more like several times a day! It helps me track how we are doing or what we need to do to make to our goal. Last night, the tally was $75,768! Look at today's..........
$82,192.
It may seem easy to raise money, but I assure you it ISN'T! Which maybe why it is hard to get people to fundraise for a cause! Yet thankfully we have cultivated a support base which is committed to our work. I don't take that for granted and it doesn't go unnoticed. Without our supporters all things are possible and one of the greatest possibilities is keeping Mattie's memory alive.
