Hope For God's Children Charity Auction...Please Help!

So many children and families have been effected by Cancer. I am proud to say that I am affiliated with a group that bands together to offer auctions to benefit some of those children and families that need help.
This group is called Hope For God's Children.

It has many members and membership is growing daily. Designers, talented artisans and people whose hearts are full of love and a desire to help in any way possible have joined together to help children and families on an ongoing basis. Presently, Hope For God's Children members are conducting a charity auction launch on eBay. Currently, all items and proceeds from these boutique auctions go to benefit the Matthew's family.
The auctions for the Matthews family will run from September 23rd through October 14th.
New items will be added by designers throughout the launch, so make sure to check back often to see what has been added since the last time you looked. Maybe you will find something that you want to bid on. Remember, Christmas is fast approaching and perhaps there is an auction item that would make the perfect gift for that special someone.
Here is a little about the Matthew's Family whom our Hope For God's Children auctions will go to benefit:

Ezra was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma on October 4th, 2009 at the age of 13 months. On October 6th The Matthews found out they were pregnant again. After weeks in the hospital and an initial round of chemo, in early November they found they were pregnant with twins. As the months progressed, Ezra went through 6 rounds of chemo, various treatments, and moving towards having the main tumor (above his left kidney) removed.



At 26 weeks (3 1/2 months early) Robyn Matthews delivered twins, Price and Charley. Price was 1lb 13oz, and Charley was 1lb 15oz. They both had multiple heavy complications, including level 4 bleeds in the brain, and on March 22nd, the twins’ 1 week birthday, God took Price back from them.


Charley was still critical, and many of the same issues as Price. He was rushed to All Children’s hospital in St Pete, who had better Dr's to handle the brain trauma. He received multiple surgeries, including having a shunt put in his brain, then removed as it wasn’t working correct, a new shunt put in, then another surgery to move that shunt. It’s now working great and will remain with him for life. He also had heart surgery to fix a murmur, which went well. Charley should be home by the end of September.


Talk about a whirlwind of emotions. 2 weeks after Price died, on April Fools Day, 2010, Ezra had his neuroblastoma tumor successfully removed. His left kidney was fully involved with the tumor, and was also removed. He recovered well, and we spent the entire month of June living in a hospital for stem cell transplant for Ezra – in an isolated, HEPA filtered room. Charley was in the same hospital (and still is), only 1 floor away, so we were able to visit him often, although Ezra wasn’t allowed to leave the room the entire 30 days.


The day before Ezra’s 2nd birthday we discovered he’d relapsed already, less than 4 months out of stem cell transplant. This means his neuroblastoma is very aggressive, and at the moment there is no cure. We are working on treatments which will “prolong life” up to 5-7 years, and praying to God for a miracle in that time, whether through flat-out miraculous healing or through a cure being discovered in that time. We will be going to New York to get some treatment done at Sloan Memorial hospital there the end of this year.


The Matthews are hopeful.


The Matthew's Family story will likely touch your heart when you read it, just as it has many others. You can help them by making a purchase, or you can even make a donation to this family by visiting the Hope For God's Children web site (click the picture above to go directly there. You will find a tab for donation on that page.)

You can see all the charity auctions listed daily throughout the auction by clicking the picture above or click HERE.
Even if you don't find something to bid on, perhaps you could make a donation. If that is not possible, you can still help by remembering these two precious little boys in prayer.
Thank you for visiting my blog today and for yoru consideration in helping the Matthews brothers.
