Tonight's picture was taken on August 30, 2008. This was Mattie's first month on treatment. Within that month's time, chemotherapy triggered complete hair loss. Mattie handled this change quite well actually. He did not seem bothered, or at least wasn't early on in the process. After the limb salvaging surgeries, when he was unable to walk again and function independently, then his hair loss seemed to remind him that he was indeed very sick.
The picture captured Mattie creating a beautiful tissue box holder while in his hospital room. This box holder remains on my nightstand today.
Quote of the day: The Great Nonprofits seal is the second most trusted rating seal, after the Better Business Bureau. ~ According to a study by Software Advice
I have noticed on several other childhood cancer organization websites, that they feature a non-profit seal of approval. So I looked into it and decided to work on applying for one for Mattie Miracle. I have been working on this for the last few weeks, because it requires a minimum of ten testimonials from people who have either volunteered, donated, or supported us in some way.
According to Great Non-Profits:
- 80% of donors say reviews influence their giving!
- 90% of donors say reviews help them better understand a nonprofit's work!
- More than 3 million people visit Great Nonprofits' website a year!
I invite you to read the 11 testimonials we have received to date. My goal is to keep accruing feedback because this is very important to help showcase our work. This website enables potential donors to hear directly from our community.
