We decided to spruce up the blog and post some of our favorite pics of Matt & Madeline from their recent adventures (with permission, of course). Thanks to everyone for coming back to check for updates! Hope you all had a wonderful summer!

Jackie and Grandma Broccoli
The next project has already begun and I am way behind....
We have begun a $ collection for Matt's friend Jackie who lost her husband due to a Pulmonary Embolism the same day as Liz passed away. The plan is to send checks to a wonderful lady named Maureen who will collect the money and will get an American Express check to send to Jackie to help pay for expenses. If you are interested in donating to Jackie please contact Maureen at mcasey_2000@yahoo.com
Our second collection is towards a plane ticket for Grandma Broccoli. That collection is being headed up by Becky our faithful collector for the last creeptificate. Her e-mail address for more information is rrk895@hotmail.com.
One final and important detail the contact e-mail for the blog has changed to creepystrangerfriends@gmail.com
Thanks in advance to all of you who donate. It is much appreciated.

Long Overdue Update!!!
First of all I want to apologize for being absent here...this summer has been far too busy and my mind far too scattered. But I am back...and still as committed as ever to helping Matt, Madeline, and anyone else who gets brought to mine/our attention.
Secondly, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to everyone that sent donations to the Awesome Auntie Deb fund. We raised $1000 which is incredible! After some discussion there was a little change in the plans of what exactly to do with the money. We ended up with a $500 Southwest Airline gift certificate for Deb and then $500 was given to Matt, GMa Candee, Gpa Tom G, and Deb as a combo gift for a special dinner out while they are in the Banff. Our dear creepy friend Becky made the delivery to the Goodman house last week and they were overwhelmed to say the least! Thank you all so much for your generosity!!!
Third, we continue to brainstorm ideas for future projects...I believe something may be in the works soon for Gma Brocolli as well as Matt's friend Jackie. I will continue to update as I know things. Keep the ideas coming!
I hope all of your summers are coming to a wonderful close...much love to all of you!

Long time no post!!!
Hello All!
Sorry it's been so long since I've posted! With family in town and random weekend trips life has gotten busy!
Here is an update! We are collecting money to buy Awesome Auntie Deb and Matt some gift certificates for Southwest Airlines so they can fly back and forth (or wherever they need to) without worrying about the cost. We have tried and tried to figure out how to donate frequent flier miles but there is no easy solution so this is the next best thing. Any $ that you send would be GREATLY appreciated!!! Becky, a fellow Matt follower, has volunteered to collect all of the funds and purchase the gift certificates. We want all money to be sent in by August 10th so we can send it to Matt by August 13th (his and Liz's anniversary). Please contact Becky at rrk895@hotmail.com and she will send you her address to send the checks. Thanks to all of you who are willing to donate, hopefully we can get them enough for a few free flights!!!
Thanks again,
Rachel

For sending formula check to Matt and Maddy, you all are great! They appreciate it!
For those of you that have been here since the beginning you know that I have been trying to get frequent flyer miles donated to M&M. Well for the longest time I couldn't get anywhere, but now a few creepy friends of mine have jumped on the band wagon. No specific details yet but I will let you know as soon as I know anything. So keep checking back! Thanks so much.

Nevermind ;)
It has been brought to my attention that some of Matt's co-worker/friends out in the LA are already in the process of setting up a cleaning service. Great!!! So...on to the next project (not sure what it will be)

Awesome!
First of all, thank you to all of you who sent Father's day cards for Matt. We are getting together tomorrow and I will hand them all over :) I know how much Matt appreciates the handwritten notes and letters and so THANKS he is really going to enjoy it!
Another awesome piece of news! Marcy P. contacted me a few days ago, she owns a store called "Dream Dinners" it's kind of along the same lines of a "Let's Dish" type of place here in the MN. Anyway, she contacted a store out in Matt's area and they have agreed to donate 6-months worth of meals to Matt and Madeline!!!! Amazing! Thank you so much Marcy for all of your work on this project!
Thanks to Patrick K. over at the MN Twins, he hooked me up with a ridiculous amount of Twins merchandise for Matt and Madeline! Also, Matt is heading to a Twins game this week and there will be a welcome sign for him on the megatron from all of his stranger friends :) Thanks Patrick!
So here's the next thing. A few people have contacted me about finding a cleaning service to help out at Matt's home every so often. Do any of you wonderful people have any connections to cleaning/maid services. It seems to be easier to get things done if there is an inside connection, so if you know of anything please let me know! creepystrangerfriends@gmail.com
Once again, you all are amazing...I'm so thankful for all of you!
