A Home for the Holidays

Mary’s heart was full thanks to you!

Mary and her mom, Pam, found a community of support at Ronald McDonald House after traveling to Louisville, KY from Pittsburgh, PA for Mary’s medical care. Follow along on their journey over the course of the holiday season.

While the Ronald McDonald House was decorated like a dollhouse for the Christmas season and everyone was in the spirit, all Mary wanted was to go home. Many things had become impossible in the pandemic world, and so much of everyday life seemed out of reach. But the magic of Christmas and RMHCK brought the most special gift.

They brought our family to Mary under one roof.

Mary’s brothers drove through a snowstorm to be with her. Her dad brought Ava, Mary’s much-loved dog, who was in the end stage of her life. We were together as a family at RMHCK. We didn’t need anything else for Christmas.

Mary’s heart was full, which made our hearts so very happy.

Ronald McDonald House is more than just a house. It was our home for the holidays. They gave us the gift of togetherness and happy memories that will last a lifetime.

Today, give a family with a sick child a gift they truly need—the gift of togetherness.
