Update - Fundraisers - 3/6/06

My apologies to all of you for not including the link for Matthew's artwork sooner. You can find them at www.colecamparea.com/matthew Andrew is handling the administration of the artwork. Each print is $25 only (shipping costs included), with the exception of the charcoal picture (fruit) which is $40 because of the larger size. Funds can be sent to Andrew at the following address:

Andrew Kurz
24302 Cheese Creek Road
Cole Camp, MO 65325

Be sure to specify the print name in your correspondence. All funds raised through purchase of these prints will go to assist with Matthew's education fund.

Several of you have asked about fundraisers for the Kurz family. There are several that are in the planning stages and we will provide the information as they become available. The high school clubs are putting together a fundraiser that will be held on April 1st. There will be a walk-a-thon and other activities and all proceeds will go to assist Matthew and the Kurz family. If you would like to contribute to the walk-a-thon, Andrew will be walking for Matthew and you can send your donation directly to Andrew at the above address. He won't be collecting funds per mile - send a flat fee donation and put walk-a-thon on the memo line of your check.

Also, to answer another commonly asked question, Matthew's sodium level in his liver count has gone down to normal!!! They "flushed" him with lots of water and his liver is doing quite well.

Thanks for all your help to assist the Kurz family.

    We are thankful there continues to be glimmers of improvement with Matthew. There is some concern about the perception of seeking fund raisers for the family to be able to build a new home. In the event that Matthew no longer needs the handicapped home, what do they plan to do with the house then especially when the community gave their money for this home. Would they offer it to the next family that might be faced with this type of crisis in the community? Shouldn't one wait and see how Matthew progresses before they jump the gun and get a new home just because they may want or need one now? Typically, when a family faces a change like this, they just make adjustments and work with what they have. Same with funding a college education. I think fund raisers for medical expenses is a tremendous blessing. Asking for a new home may just be over stepping things. Isn't our God good and merciful and doesn't he always provide what we need even though our thoughts may be different? Doesn't He know our needs even before we request them? The request for land and money for a down payment has definitely brought up many thoughts and discussions. I believe God has everything worked out for His good and His glory. All praise will go to Him. He is so good!
