The Ronald McDonald House provides critical support to ill children and their families. The Indianapolis location plays an integral part in offering itself as a base for these children and their families to focus on their medical treatments and overall well-being. Providing family support as well as to the patient is critical in addressing the needs of the family being affected. The Ronald McDonald House Indianapolis staff, board members, and volunteers care deeply about the mission of the house, and care deeply about the children and families that this wonderful organization serves. Unfortunately medical tragedies can strike any family at any time, and just the simple fact that this resource exists to help many people throught these difficult times is amazing. I have never known the staff, board members, and volunteers to be anything but dedicated, passionate, caring and committed. This same spirit of committment to serving these deserving children and their families in Indianapolis will undoubtedly continue to carry on into the future, and I look forward to seeing what wonderful things come next!
