Ronald McDonald House

The nurses here told us we should check out the Ronald McDonald house for a place to stay while we are here in Vegas. We drove over to check it out and what a wonderful program.

The Ronald house provides temporary housing for families who travel to receive medical treatment. A donation of $10 a night is requested, but no one is turned away if they can't pay. At the Ronald house you can stay for as long as you want, they have free food, and they even have different groups that come in the evenings to cook dinner for you. So we can come "home" to a home cooked dinner. They have common areas and then you have your own private bedroom with your own bathroom. What a blessing this will be for me, because I know I will be living here for a while.

I encourage everyone to help support this great program by giving your change at any McDonalds or by pulling pop tabs and dropping them off or mailing them to any Ronald McDonald House.
What a great service to help others in need.

  1. Glad you could connect with this. I've been worried about you "camping out" in waiting rooms or whatever. This will definitely help you deal with the stress of a critically injured child.
    You have all been in our thoughts and Prayers since we first heard Monday night. So glad he is alive and receiving excellent care.
