He received things he did not even know he needed. There were stuffed animals, baby clothes and toys but there were also baby nail clippers, hair clips, formula dividers, and diaper bags.

The Foundation For Liz
The Liz Logelin Foundation is run by volunteers and it hosts fundraising events like runs and walks in her honor. One event managed to raise $4,400 and this was initially meant to go to the father and daughter duo. However, Matt found another way to honor Liz. “Matt asked me if it was OK if he gave away all the money that had been raised for him and Madeline to the widows and widowers he had met through his blog. They didn’t have the same network of support and he wanted to help them,” Rachel Engebretson, the foundation’s co-executive, narrated.
