Tonight's picture was taken in November of 2007. We were walking on Roosevelt Island that weekend and Mattie came across this large greenish fruit! Back then I had no idea that it was a crinkly hedge apple. But Mattie was intrigued by it, picked it up and brought it home. Naturally we cut it open and explored the fruit, which smelled like citrus. Mattie was all about collecting things in nature and exploring his surroundings. This was one of my favorite photos I snapped of Mattie on the Island.

When we arrived on-site, where we hold the candy drive, we were greeted by this sight! All the white bags are from our corporate sponsor, Robert & Tyler of Washington Fine Properties. They contribute to our candy drive every year and SORT all the candy they donate.
This is Peter's dentist office and another corporate sponsor of Mattie Miracle's. They donate candy to us every year.
We had several large groups of volunteers helping us sort candy today! Thankfully as there was a lot to process.
Later in the afternoon, we had Junior Girl Scout Troop 4559 helping us. They were stellar! I can't tell you how much candy they processed for us!
