HEARTWARMING MOMENTS We were thrilled to share these special moments with our guest families! A Fond Farewell Guest families from World Pediatric Project staying at the West County Ronald McDonald House had a surprise from their virtual summer tutors! Students from a local high school stopped by with balloons and banners to say good-bye to their new international friends to end the summer.

Puppy Love! Our friend Nathan met Chief Pawsitivity Officer, Frankie, during his stay at the West Pine Ronald McDonald House. Frankie always brings smiles to families who are far from their own pets.

Family Time Brina and her family are on their fifth annual RMHC St. Louis trip! Each time, they travel over 4,500 miles from Slovenia, an Eastern European country, to seek life-changing treatment at St. Louis Children's Hospital.
