Love Letter from a Family
“One year ago today, God tested the strength of my family and blessed us at the same time. After flying to St. Louis for an emergency C-section, my wife gave birth to our little girl, Haley. If not for the Ronald McDonald house on Pine Street, I don’t know how my family would have been able to cope with the next twelve weeks while our daughter was in Children’s Hospital. At a mere 2.2 pounds, there were several times we didn’t think that she would make it to where she is today...Happy and healthy. We can not thank you enough for the peace of mind that came from being so near to her and being able to see her every day. RMHC is such a blessing. Thank you so much.” - Wayford, Alesha, Harley and Haley Pence
