"I don't know what I would have done if this house didn't exist. As soon as I found out that I was going to deliver my son at 32 weeks pregnant, I knew I would be released from Women & Infants' before he would.
The day I was discharged, I was a mess. We live about 40 minutes away when there's no traffic. I'd just had a c-section and was told not to drive for 6 weeks. How was I going to be with my baby everyday?
It was such a blessing to be able to be that close to my son and not have to worry about rides or anything else. I was able to sleep better and be with my son as much as I wanted to. I will never be able to fully express my gratitude!"

"My sister and her husband stayed at the Ronald McDonald house in Providence for a few weeks over the summer. My niece was in intensive care for 6 weeks and while we almost lost her, the folks at Hasbro Children's Hospital worked miracles and she is now home and is doing just fine.
I wanted to take a moment however to thank you and your team for running such a wonderful haven for those in need. It was a Godsend for my sister for a bit of respite, a shower, and peace of mind knowing that she was just moments away from her daughter's bedside. I helped her get checked in and was amazed at how well the facility is run and what an extraordinary service you provide to those in need.
I cannot even begin to thank you enough."
You generous contributions make a difference in the lives of families each day. We thank you for your generosity and wish you a wonderful holiday season.
