My Nonprofit Reviews

This is our second stay at RMHC EASTERN WISCONSIN. The first stay was from the beginning of 11/21-end of 01//22. That stay was before the expansion was finished being built. It was in process. At first we were in a short term room and then we were moved into a long term room. I was staying with my sister while my niece was at Rogers Behavioral Health for an Eating Disorder and OCD. While staying at RMHC, we were totally AMAZED at the staff and volunteers who worked there. They were the nicest, friendliest, most caring and giving people we had ever met!! We were treated like royalty. We never had to ask for anything. They had everything imaginable at our fingertips. They were always checking to make sure we had everything we needed. The had activities for the families to participate in. Our favorite was pet therapy. It made us feel like we were home with our fur babies. We got to know other families in the house while we were there and RMHC became our home away from home. The staff and volunteers became like family. They always asked about our sick family member and how they were doing. We were at RMHC during Thanksgiving and Christmas. For Thanksgiving RMHC treated us to a delicious Thanksgiving meal. At Christmas, it was beyond believable. It was as if Santa himself came to RMHC and visited each family and child!! St. Nicholas came and left stockings for the kids. The family room was decorated with the biggest Christmas tree!! Christmas morning there were packages outside every door with presents for the kids and adults!!! This place has a magical feeling to it that is indescribable. It is like no other place I have ever been. When we left when my niece was discharged, I cried. It was so hard to leave. This was our home for 3 months and the staff, volunteers, and other families were going to be so hard to leave. We made so many friendships that we still stay connected with today. We are now back again at RMHC. We arrived at the beginning of July. The addition is completed and is beautiful. When I walked in, it was like coming home. The staff was still the same as when we left. They still remembered us. It was as if we hadn’t left. We were put in a long term room in the new addition and our room overlooks the secret garden. It is absolutely beautiful!! The volunteers are constantly working to make everything look so beautiful every day. We have stayed at a couple other Ronald McDonald Houses and they were nice but this place has something magical. I can’t imagine being anywhere else with my niece getting treatment than right here at RMHC Eastern Wisconsin!!!
