Greetings from RMH Providence,
 

The 22nd Annual Walk Festival, presented by Cardi's Furniture, was a great success. Thank you to all the former House guests, volunteers, sponsors and friends who came out to support RMH Providence. 

Thank You
 

The following note was written to Textron, one of our room sponsors, with gratitude for their generous support.

"Dear Textron,

Thank you so much for supporting the Ronald McDonald House.  My 15 year old daughter needed treatment at Hasbro Children's Hospital for 5 weeks.  Both my daughter and I are physically handicapped and were able to stay in the handicapped accessible room at the House.  We could not afford a motel for that amount of time.

The Ronald McDonald House was a home away from home.  The staff and volunteers were very welcoming. We enjoyed meeting other families.  Everyone was so supportive and at the end of a long day at the hospital, there was a hot meal waiting for us at the House.  I was so lucky to stay there.

Thanks for supporting the House and all the families who stay there.

Sincerely,

Carolyn and Allison"
