Ronald McDonald House Charities

Our starts with my son before he was born. He had a stroke in utero. His cord kinked and that changed our lives forever. The first time we went to TC Thompson was when my son was 1 month old. His reflux was in a league of its own and his IGG deficiency didn't help either. I am a single mother and my new job became taking care of him full time. I didn't have any money and I had no idea what to do. That was the first time I found out what Ronald McDonald House was. It became my life saver. I could eat and know my son was just down the hall. When I needed a break it became my home away from home. As the years have moved forward my sons medical did too. They found gray matter on the left temporal lobe. Seizures were going to be the next thing to take center stage along side the IGG deficiency. His first year of life he was home only a total or three weeks if you add it all together in the hospital. Now he is 6. We still have our battles to fight and I am grateful for the knowledge that I food and someone to talk to. It's nice to be able to know that the battles may not be the same but you are not alone. Thank you for everything!!
