Happy New Year and An Update on Matthew

Happy New Year to you all.  We hope that you enjoyed the holidays and that 2015 has started with health, happiness and joy.

Since our last update, Matthew is back to his old self - actually better than his old self if you can believe that.  He quickly returned to half days and then full days back in school and his food restrictions were lifted so now he can have pizza with us on Friday night! Despite the illnesses running rampant, Matthew stayed healthy!  So healthy in fact that he called from the nurse's office just this week to say his legs hurt.  Not wanting to take any chances I went to pick him up.  Upon returning home, Matthew admitted that his legs really did not hurt that much but that he missed me and wanted to be with me.  After spending two months together, he just missed me.  You can't have a better outcome than that.

Upcoming Events
Things are moving in to high gear already with several groups running pillow projects and many plans in the works for this year.

We have several groups working on preparing pillows for the pillow project.  We are so grateful for their help and support.  Our goal is to send 500 pillows to Columbia throughout 2015.  The Sherman School pillow project will take place on February 24th so mark your calendars.   
Also, our friends at the Knights of Columbus and St. Francis Xavier Church in New Milford have generously offered to sponsor a hockey day with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers on March 15th at the Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport.  More information is listed below and all proceeds will go directly to Matthew's Heart of Hope.  A great day for the family.  We hope you can join us.
All the best to you all!
