WE HAVE THE ATTENTION OF CONGRESS!!!!

From Congressman Joe Pitts.   The Congress of the United States of America.

This Certificate of Recognition is awarded to Mr. Paul B. Matthews on behalf of your son Eli Seth Matthews for the impact he has made in the lives of the children and families battling cancer.

…

Throughout his life, Eli showed courage and it is fitting that during the month of September the residents of Oxford and all who knew him would show support for those who continue to daily fight this battle.   I stand with you during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.   I am  proud to join with Oxford to recognize you for your strength through this loss, and to applaud your continued dedication to our community.   It is an honor to have you in the 16th Congressional District.

Car Wash For A Cure

Come out and support the Eli Seth Matthews foundation by coming through the “Car Wash for a Cure!” This event will be on September 12, starting at 10 and ending at 1. It will be held at Cameron’s Hardware in Oxford, PA. It is by donation, so please invite your friends and family to come out and take a stand in the fight against childhood cancer!

 

What some would think not such a good day for a car wash.    Gabrielle Murphy, Nancie Bescript, Samantha Price, Mason Hager, and Kaden Smyth would have to disagree.  This was the day we were given, and I will tell you we were 100% successful.   Again thank you all for coming out and supporting this event.  Gabrielle has decided this will be an annual event to help save children’s lives.

2nd Annual Eli’s Ride For A Cure

I have searched my heart for the right words to express my feelings of this day.   Today we made a difference in the lives of so many children.   You may never truly understand the sheer magnitude of what you have done.  I am a father that struggles in this life.   I’m a father that made a promise to his little boy at his graveside that I would carry out his Wishes to find a CURE for this MONSTER that took his life.  In the quest I pray that our good LORD will help bring peop…le into my life that want the same thing.   You see I have been in a war zone that did not leave me with PTSD.  Watching my son go through his battle is what left me with PTSD.  I will FIGHT this FUC@$@@ WAR AND WE WILL WIN!!!!

We tripled the turn out this year.  Thank you.

Great job to our blockers.

Please I know I left off a ton of names and it’s only because I’m drained today emotionally and I want you to know you all mean so much to me.  Eli Seth Matthews Still touching hearts from heaven. Carl Kramer Rick Clark
