Day 21- You want fries with that?

While visiting our newly remodeled McDonalds, we decided to donate our change to the Ronald McDonald House.  You've probably seen the donation boxes, they are convienently located by the registers!  Makes for easy donations :)  For those of you who are unfamiliar with Ronald McDonald House Charities, it's worth a read: http://rmhc.org/who-we-are/

For more than 36 years, Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC, Inc.) has been working to improve the health and well being of children – touching nearly 4.5 million children worldwide every year.

We strive to be part of the solution to issues challenging families today. Families are challenged with how to stay near and support a hospitalized child, how to afford staying together in another city while a child is undergoing treatment, or even getting basic medical and dental care in underserved communities. We use our resources to help families gain access to health care services during critical points in their children’s lives

With a network of Ronald McDonald House Charities Chapters in 52 countries and regions around the world, we help children and their families through more than:
• 302 Ronald McDonald Houses
• 157 Ronald McDonald Family Rooms
• 43 Ronald McDonald Care Mobiles
• Grants and other programs and services

If you have ever had a sick child, you know just how hard it is to shuffle back and forth to the hospital, as well as afford all the expenses.  I'm glad that places like The Ronald McDonald House are there for families in tough times.
