Ronald McDonald House Charities

I am a 31 year old female living in a world full of terror. About two years ago my sister passed away and her 17 year old daughter came to live with me. By me being the youngest with no kids, I really had no clue. After several months my niece started complaining about stomach pains. The first thought I had was oh my God she is pregnant. I wish now that was the case. I took her to the hospital and found out she had Auto Immune Hepititas.We live in Shellman, Georgia which is 114 miles away from Childrens Healthcare of Atlanta hospital at Egalston. I thought to myself Lord I can't leave her hear alone, she is just a child that has been sentenced this awful life long sickness. I did not have much money and could not afford to pay for a hotel. While talking with some of the hospital staff at Egalston they told me about The Rondal McDonald House on Gatewood Drive. The hospital got me set up to stay and I was so grateful. The volunteers at the house are so caring and loving. They make you feel right at home. I am grateful and thankful to the lord and the people that make it possible for the Ronald McDonald House to stay open for people like me and others who can't afford to stay anywhere else. I would like to that the staff of volunteers and everyone else for my niece.
