On May 27, 2015 the Eli Seth Matthews Leukemia Foundation, Inc. will award the Eli Seth Matthews scholarship to a graduating senior from the Oxford Area High School for the fourth year in a row. This is awarded to a student that is going to study for a career in the medical field.  The high school students do so much to help the foundation and without their hard work and dedication to the Eli Seth Matthews Leukemia Foundation we would not be as strong and thriving as we are. We are truly grateful for all that they do.

Sarah Hershey Congratulations!!!!!

In May of 2014 Heather Homola was awarded the Eli Seth Matthews Scholarship.   Heather is a truly remarkable young lady and was so touched that she was chosen for this honor.  I’m so happy I got to talk to her and get to know her.  Heather you have so much going for you and I bELIeve you will go very far in this life.

Family and Friends, On January 20, 2011 was the darkest time in our family’s life. We had just lost our Eli and had an unspeakable pain in our hearts.  One day the Mayor of Oxford, Geoffrey L. Henry called and told us something that truly honored us. He wanted to proclaim March 1st as ELI MATTHEWS DAY in Oxford! He created a proclamation on February 21, 2011. We were so touched that he would honor our angel in this way.  We are so excited that so many people have come to support this day in our town. We love driving around Oxford and seeing all the signs and billboards with Eli’s name on them.  I would like to ask all of you reading this that own a business no matter the State, or Country you live in to post “March 1st Eli Matthews Day help fight childhood cancer visit www.BraveEli.com” on your sign. Eli touched so many people in his life and even now continues to do so from Heaven. March 1st is quickly approaching. We hope that you will all continue to support this day by wearing red and black which were Eli’s favorite colors! Thank you all so very much for your continued support, kind words and prayers. They mean so much to my Family.

THIS SATURDAY NIGHT NOVEMBER 29, 2014 @ Barnaby’s of Ridley!! Come help fight childhood cancer by picking up our “Calendar for a Cure”.

Today November 27, 2014 you would be 14 years old.  Eli not one second of any given day goes by that we don’t think of you.  The unspeakable pain in our hearts will never go away as we miss you.  Your smile would light up a room; your bravery was none I have ever witnessed in my life.  We miss hugging you.  We miss kissing you.  We miss watching what funny things you might say or do.  We miss waiting for you to come downstairs just to see what  cool clothes you would pick out for the day.  Most of all we just miss holding you in our arms telling you how much we love you.  Happy Birthday in Heaven Eli we Love you with all of our hearts sweet Angel.  Love Mom Dad and Big brother Austin.

Everyone please watch these videos.  Turn up the volume.

My HERO in life my son Eli.
