Our daughter has Systemic Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis and has been battleing it for the past 3 years. Recently she has had a bad flare and has been accumelating many complications from the meds. and the disease itself. She is only 14. She recently was admitted to Riley Childrens hospital to have some testing done and ended up in there for 6days do to more complications. We live an hour and a half away so traveling back and forth was not an option. I stayed with her while my husband stayed home with our other two girls. We are very limited on finances and did not have enough for me to be going down to the cafetiria or McDonalds for my meals. The nurses guided me to the Ronald McDonald house in the hospital. When I went down there I was comforted by the surroundings and care given to familys like ours. With out that I probably would not have ate much during this stay. I can't express enough how much it helped. Not just food but access to showers and rest. What a wonderful thing that the Rondald MdDonald house is. Thanks Sooo much!

When I was 10 years old I had to have a major 8 hour back surgery. I was diagnosed with scoliosis. My parents and brother stayed at the Ronald McDonald house during my surgery. This place was such a blessing to me and my family. It was like a home away from home. Every night they feed the people. There was a tv and game room for entertainment. Such a wonderful atmosphere. Thanks to all who make keep this place going. The ironic thing is my mom use to always donote to this place years before I knew I had to have surgery.

When my brother was born he had some health issuses and was sent to Billings Montana for medical treatment. The Ronald McDonald House was there for my family while we were going through this rough time in our lifes. I am now a teenager and I love helping the Ronald McDonald House. I collect pop tabs and plan on volunteering at the Billings, Montana location. I love the Ronald McDonald House for everything they have done for my family and many more!
