Ronald McDonald House









Two pooped to post two for Tuesday!

I just got home from Ronald McDonald House with two of the boys. This was our 3rd night painting a porch and porch furniture. A good deed for a good charity.

Ronald McDonald House provides a warm and caring "home away from home" for parents when their child is seriously ill and in a hospital away from their home town. There are currently 255 Ronald McDonald Houses in 28 countries.

The Ronald McDonald House in our town has 16 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms and is located in close proximity to 3 hospitals. Two of these are specialized children's hospitals.

So far, we have been blessed with healthy children and have not needed this service. It's nice to know it's there for those that do.

We have them here in Australia, at least one I know of in my capital city.

I agree, a great cause! And what big hearts you and your sons have for helping out. Well done!

Hi Tina, I didn't realize until we volunteered that they are in so many countries!

Hi Matt-man, how's Ryno?

Schmoop said...

He's doing fine thanks for asking.

When I have a little extra cash, this is one of the places I put it.

My niece was born with a serious heart defect and she and her parents travel across the states to one of the only doctors skilled in her many surgeries. They stay at RMH and it has been a blessing. So are you and your family. Thank you for your good work.

That's so nice Trav!

Thanks Janelle, I am glad RMH is there for them. I hope your niece will be ok.
