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.
