just saw last night’s show,march 23. amy,we are very proud of you and the children.ya,ll did a wonderful thing. you are such a good mom,amy.you have great moral values and you are teaching the children those values.what you did in mississippi will long be remembered.it came from your heart. you have great kids.we love your show. i know it must be hard to have the tv crew there,but you and matt are such positive role models. we do not have enough good tv shows to watch anymore.your show is a breath of fresh air.god bless you and your family.
I shed many tears ,as I lay next to my perfectly healthy five year old,, sleeping soundly and watched the father of these disabled children, wait for the surgery to end. I was so struck by how many things had to come together just right, for this to be successful. God Blessed the complete operations and it was so wonderful to see. I realized that, no matter what the country, we all love our children so fully. Thank you to all that made that possible to a family that had probably no hope for their children. AMAZING!
Matt I have to say that was an amazing thing you did for that family! You could see it in their eyes, it ment the world to them! It was a very brave thing you did. God bless you and your family!!!
Oh, puleese…to compare the need of these children to American children is simply absurd. Handicapped people are dealt with severly in non-western cultures. These children, this family, are in dire straits and no, American, you did not have to say it…..
Matt is a hero once again. What about you, American?
Matt you did a awesome thing…. care abroad for families like these are non-existent.. God bless you.
Ok, I just have to say this… There were no AMERICAN families that needed help??? I mean why go to Iraq and help a foreign family when there have got to be MANY famalies right here in the USA that need Matt’s help… We need to help our OWN families before we fly across the globe to help Iraq…
