Workin' at the Car Wash

This morning a family that we have been friends with for probably 12 years now put on a car wash to fundraise for Matthew's cause. The Pineda family recruited some of Anesa's (their oldest daughter) softball team and her coach to help along with family and friends. We went down after Matthew's nurses left, and it was really cool to see. There were a bunch of helpers and they always had good stream of cars. Everyone was so nice and happy to help even though most of them didn't know Matthew or our family. We are so grateful to them for giving up their Saturday morning and afternoon to help our family.

We could only stay at the car wash for about 20 minutes because Matthew started getting really weak and tired, and when we got home he fell right to sleep on the couch. It's sad to me that he used to have so much stamina and now it's all gone. Even just a small amount of activity wears him out. I know he will only be like this for a short time, but it's still hard to watch. It's still so surreal that my little brother has cancer, but I know it would be unbearable without the people we have in our life.

When we got there they put me and Hannah right to work, but we were glad to help!
