When faced with a child's illness or injury that requires hospitalization (whether for one traumatic moment in time or for an ongoing course of treatment), life as we know it stops. Without Ronald McDonald House, families whose child is being treated far from home face the added stress of figuring out where to stay/how to pay for temporary lodging on top of their normal expenses. We're extremely fortunate that Paul has been out of the hospital four plus years now, but it seems like almost every week we hear about someone else who needs services like those Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Texas provides. I'm choosing to celebrate my birthday this year by donating to RMHC CTX -- will you join me?
