“We walked in with fear, and found a family.”
Six-year-old Maya arrived in Dallas with a failing heart and parents who carried little more than hope. Ronald McDonald House Dallas handed them a room key, a hot meal, and a promise of safety for as long as doctors fought for Maya’s life. Twenty-seven nights later they walked out with a healthy child, new friends who felt like cousins, and a peace that will last a lifetime.
Families just like Maya’s arrive every day. Some cross state lines in the middle of the night. Others touch down from distant countries with passports still warm from customs. Each one steps through needs healing right now
