RMHC Saves Triplets Lives

The Carlton family is forever thankful for the Ronald McDonald House Organization. They had triplets, Londyn, Kingston, and Major; they all weighted less than a pound each. Miraculously, they are six years old now and all healthy and have successfully started school. 

Londyn, unfortunately had a seizure recently and had to be admitted to the Hospital in Springfield. She was in the ICU and couldn't be transported back to the families hometown of Branson. Her parents couldn't leave her for a second so the hospital recommended RMHC. The RMHC that they are staying at is hosting its annual Share a Heart Campaign.

During this period, $1 red, $5 pink and $20 gold paper hearts can be purchased at participating McDonald’s restaurants throughout southwest Missouri. These donations go directly to the Ronald McDonald House Charities. 

Please consider donating to help families like the Carlton's. RMHC Saves Triplets Lives

RMHC to be Goodfellows Recipient

The Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Southwest is one of the 2016 recipients for the A-J Media-sponsored Goodfellows campaign, which accepts donations from readers to benefit local charities.

Linda Limon, director of operations for RMDH, said a majority of the families that use the house do so because they have premature babies in the NICU. These donations are huge for the organization because we rely so much on volunteers and donations. During the holidays we are typically at maximum capacity so it’s a busy time, we get a lot of volunteers that bring in meals they’ve prepared and we get donations but we need things like toilet paper and paper towels; common household items. These donations from the Goodfellows will help us tremendously in those areas. We appreciate the Goodfellows organization and everything they have done for the RMHC! Goodfellows Recipient

Even if supporters cannot make it to the actual event, usually held from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., donations through person, mail, or even online, is always highly encouraged. Rita Ralston, Executive Director, mentioned that “folks have become wonderful supporters of the house and the event and if they can’t make it then they donate and it’s just become a wonderful thing for us.” 

Some items usually sold at this event are Christmas trees and wreaths to decorate for the holiday season, sweaters, jewelry, ceramic plates, ornaments, and many more crafty items.
