If you don't have a google account, you can still bid, just choose the anonymous option (but again, don't forget to put your name and email). Please email if have any questions! (team_matthew@hotmail.com) Once the bidding is over, we will contact the winner with directions on how to pay and information on how to claim their item.

Hi,
I don't know you very well, but I went to school at La Cueva. I want to let you know that I am praying for your family.Little Matthew touched my heart this morning as I heard the news from a friend. He has the most adorable smile and his pictures show what a beautiful little kid he is through and through. Please know that we are spreading the word for prayers and help on the blog with the auction and support. My thoughts and prayers are with you from one mom to another.

Kurt and Elissa,
I saw your blog posted on Facebook. I know Kurt from La Cueva. I wanted to let you know that your family and your sweet Matthew are in my prayers. I do not have children yet, so I can't imagine how difficult this season of life must be. I find Psalm 31:23-24 encouraging: O love the Lord, all you his godly ones! The Lord preserves the faithful and fully recompenses the proud doer. Be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in the Lord.

I don't know you either but I know that God's plan is sometimes different then our own. I have had so many health struggles, but for a little one to have to go through this and the parents its so hard. I will start praying for you tonight. I know what health problems are like and finding things out suddenly, I know that as I went through things and still am I asked for prayers from everyone anywhere and any religion. My heart goes out to you and also my prayers...

Thanks for bidding! Please don't forget to include your email address so we can contact you if you win!

A little background info...

This blog is set up as an auction site to earn money for Matthew Pedrotty. He is a 3 year old little boy who was just diagnosed the day after Thanksgiving with cancer. Each test they run results in worse and worse news. The road ahead for Matthew and his family will not be an easy one and we are looking for a way to help them. Matthew is a vibrant, energetic, caring little boy with the most infectious smile! His parents are incredible, faithful and generous people. For those of you who know Elissa (his mother) you know she would give her right arm to help somebody. For those of you who don't know her...well, that pretty much sums her up. She has shown so much strength and faith throughout this terrible ordeal, let me share with you an example. This is a portion of an update she posted on facebook:

..I pray for better news tomorrow and for some relief for sweet Matthew so again we are so very grateful for all your prayers and all the great words of encouragement and we love you all and are so grateful. We know everyone has trials and everyone is going through their own struggles and hope for the best for everyone out there and I just want you all to know how much our Heavenly Father loves and knows each of us and while things are hard he will be by your side and he will help you in your struggles. when things don't go your way it doesn't mean he isn't there or didn't hear your prayer...it means what you wanted isn't what he wanted and that his plan is eternal and we have to trust in his decision for whatever outcome we get. Trial is never a reason to forget God..never a reason to be angry with him and never a reason to forget to be loving and Christ-like to those around you. WE all have to remember that we all have our struggles and not to discount anyone elses struggle because we feel ours is harder or bigger or whatever...we love you all and are so very grateful for the friendships we have shared and the incredible things we have been blessed with through each and every one of you...our hearts are with you all in your struggles and can add you to our prayers as well. thanks so so very much for all the strength

I don't think there's much more to say besides "there you go." They are an awesome, incredible and inspiring family. Thank you for taking the time to visit this auction and help the Pedrotty family.
