Ronald McDonald House Charities Dayton

Children learn through play. So, to help our little ones make sense of the on-site construction activity, we dressed up our giraffes and provided some pretend tools. And this sweet girl took right to them. Growth and smiles. Does it get any sweeter? #HereWeGROW

Dr. Evans, co-founder of @RMHC recognized that “a sick child is a sick family” and built a care model around this strongly held belief, now in place at over 375 Houses worldwide. Today we fondly remember her advocacy, and honor the foundation she laid for the work that we do.

Play is the work of a child, and an important part of our work. Children with medical illnesses and their siblings use play as a mechanism for coping and working through stress related to medical experiences." Learn more at: ow.ly/Jphv50KSYWv
