It's Been Delivered!

Hello!  Welcome back to my blog (I refuse to address the elephant in the room.).   I wanted to share about a stitching endeavor that I had the privilege to participate in.  A group of stitchers have come together to stitch a design by Ursula Michael made especially for the Ronald McDonald Houses.  I chose the Columbia SC location b/c they supported some of my family members in their time of need.    I stitched the smaller piece for the Family Room, which is located inside the hospital.

Last week my cousin, her son & I  traveled to Columbia to deliver the piece.  She wanted to show him where his parents had stayed when he was born.  Back in 2010,  the Columbia house could only host 8 families at a time. They have a new house now and they can host 16 families at a time.   

I want to take a moment to give some information about  the Ronald McDonald House.  **This is NOT a paid advertisement!**
The Columbia location helped about 250 families in 2018.  They provide a place to stay for families who have children in the hospital with critical health issues and are far away from home. Not only do they have a place to lay their heads;  they provide meals, snacks and a community environment of support within the families.   Most of the funding for these homes come from private donations and fundraisers held throughout the year. They also accept donations of  tabs from soft drinks & soup cans. 

 I recently found out that you can sign up with Amazon Smiles (link here) and .05% of  eligible products you purchases will be sent to the Ronald McDonald House of your choosing.  You can also choose to send actual wish list items directly to your local RMH thru the Amazon Smiles program.  Would you consider signing up to support your local RMH today?

I enjoyed being able to participate in this stitch along. As always, it truly is better to give than to receive!
