Our why
Our family knew little about the Ronald McDonald House until our son Emmett was born. He was born with a rare Congenital Heart Disease. Because Edmonton is the cardiac center for western Canada he was born in Edmonton and had his first surgery in Edmonton. During these times our family was welcomed into the Ronald McDonald House. Though we were going through some of the toughest days of our life we have amazing memories from the RMH in Edmonton. The RMH is where we had our twin boys for the first night alone (we will never forget that night...). It is where we met great friends who we still connect with and support today. The RMH is where we had some of the most amazing meals, met some very caring volunteers, and experienced a community of medical families that we got to celebrate with and cry with.
Our family to date has spent 88 nights at Ronald McDonald Houses both here and in California. We know that number is counting as we expect to have to be in Edmonton for more procedures in the future. We want to give back to this amazing organization. Help us support them so that other medical families have the accommodations and support that we had when we needed it most. This year our goal is to raise $880 which would be $10 for each night our family has stayed there.
