This is a photo from Zane’s last hospital stay, also my last stay at the Ronald McDonald House.  For the last 3.5 years we had been in and out of the hospital, the Ronald McDonald House has provided our family a place to stay, totally free, while providing us everything we needed and then some.

I had a private apartment room where I could go and relax or cry in private, a place where my family could be together when we were so far from home. We also had meals, activities, laundry room, etc. There really wasn’t a better place to stay while inpatient.

On top of everything being free, we also go to meet other families and hangout in the penthouse during free movie or craft nights.

If it wasn’t for the Ronald McDonald House, Zane would have had less time with his siblings and dad, I would have lost a little more sanity, I would have went more days without eating, our family would have been broken more times than not. I can’t even stress how important it was to be able to have the whole family there, together, during this difficult time. This made it possible!

I want to make sure that the families that are staying there and travel the paths we did, continue to have the resources available at the Ronald McDonald House that we did. I want to pay it forward in memory of Zane and in thanks for us. All of those who are able to help us support them mean a lot to us. I feel like we have a huge family worldwide.

Zane brought strangers together and I want to continue to have you all in my life. He made the world a better place and I want to continue that. Thank you to everyone who continues to send love, support, and for all the genorosity. Days are still tough, but I am tougher!

Here is a letter I received from the last donation we made to the Ronald McDonald House
