Asked by unknown user - Tue Feb 28 18:30:45 2006 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. I know they are absolutely wonderful. They provide a home away from home for parents/ or grandparents, or caretakers of children who are hospitalized. Each house is immaculate, safe, secure, providing a place to sleep, and eat. They have tv rooms, libraries etc. (place to relax) when not at side of hospital bed. They are truly a Godsend, when you are a distance from your hometown. All the workers in them are volunteers, & are truly kind hearted to all. There is a very nominal charge for staying, and everyone has to do a daily chore, & of course clean their own rooms before leaving. For the nominal room charge, you also get free food for the time you are there. If you can't afford the even nominal charge, they will not turn you… [cont.] Answered by Amlilke - Tue Feb 28 19:00:02 2006 What is Ronald McDonald House of charity? Q. What is Ronald McDonald House of charity? Asked by Toni - Fri Jun 20 11:27:50 2008 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. The above answers are right on. Ronald McDonald House Charities provide housing for families when their children are very ill and hospitalized. They charge on a sliding scale and are usually very close to the hospital so the family can be close to the child. In addition they support other children related and medical research work. They do a fabulous job, are nonprofit, and staffed largely by volunteers. Answered by Q-mama - Fri Jun 20 14:33:59 2008 Can you help my sister help Children in the hospital for Christmas?
Q. For the past three years my sister has been collecting new toys, food, and house hold items to take to the Ronald McDonald House Charities. She started this after we had to stay their when my son had open heart surgery when he was two days old. I was wondering if anyone would like to help by sending items to me and then I will surprise her with them and she will deliver them to the Charity or do you know any way I can help her get more items? Thank You! Asked by jandismommie - Tue Oct 28 11:51:13 2008 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments A. Wow that is A*W*E*S*O*M* E* Probably her best bet is to get local businesses and churches involved. If she is a member of any clubs or groups she should enlist their help. Also she should try and get the local media involved. The more people that get involved, the better the results. Publicity is the best way to go. God bless both of you and the best of luck!! Answered by unknown - Tue Oct 28 12:46:32 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "ronald mcdonald house charities" |
