”Years ago, I had an older brother that was at children’s mercy in Kansas City. We had the option -- my folks did -- they had the option to use Ronald McDonald. They did not end up having to. I also have a house full of kids and I have been fortunate to never have any issues like some families do. I know that they do a lot of good for folks with children in hospitals and giving them a place to stay.”

The Ronald McDonald House Chief Executive Officer, Mindee Reece, said that the $500 will help provide housing for one family for approximately 20 days.
