Recently my great neice decided to make a 13 week early appearance. She was rushed to All Childrens in St. Pete. Mom had to stay in the Pt Charlotte Hospital while little Bailey was flown to All Childrens. My nephew went there and was immediately shown to a room at RMDH and welcomed with open arms. I flew in from TN and they let me stay there as well. They provided food, comfortable surroundings, TV rooms, kids play rooms... everything to make you feel at home away from home. They have now been there for almost 10 weeks. All of this comes from your generousity. THANK YOU!!!

6 years ago I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Upon the delivery we were informed that your new baby had a very large lump on her arm. She was taken to the University of Michigan Hopital for furthur studies. Two days later my husband and I followed with our two daughter both under 3. We were introduced to the RMDH. We checked in and were told not to worry about paying. That someone would take care of the bill and all they wanted us to do was worry about out baby. They were great there. The play room for the other children, the mini refridgerator for the breast milk I had to pump in the night. Everything was so great. Thank you so much Ann Arbor RMDH

over the past 5 years, my daughter has had a lot of intestine problems.Where i live, there is no RMH in our area, so we always have to travel 1-2 hours away. The RMH has always offered us a place to stay!!! Even in bad winter weather, the RMH will provide your needs before,during,after your child's hospital stay or procedure! i'm on a fixed income. so the benefits of the RMH took a lot of stress off of me !!!
