Little Philanthropist
  
On  April 22 we received a card stating "I would like to give some of my First Holy Communion money to you (RMH Providence)".  The letter was signed and sent by 8 year old Annie Quinn.

 

Annie first heard of the Ronald McDonald House when friends of her family stayed a few years ago.  She has been interested in helping out since that time.

 

Congratulations on making your First Communion and for being a Ronald McDonald House "Little Philanthropist".  Way to go Annie!
