My son, Brent, was born in 2009 with some breathing complications. He was flown out to Kosair within a few hours after his birth. I remained in the hospital till the next day when I was discharged. Then, I made the trip to Kosair and that's when we were able to get a room at the Louisville Ronald McDonald House, "The House that Love Built,"" so we were able to rest between visits to see our son.

He stayed in NICU for 9 days (thankful our journey was shorter than many, but it was a life changing experience for me). Our stay at the Ronald McDonald House was very helpful and appreciated the nice volunteers that assisted with getting us in. If it wasn't for the Ronald McDonald House, we would have had to travel back and forth or stay at the hospital around the clock.

Since my son's NICU journey and our experience of staying in the RMH I have chosen to make this annual charity drive for the RMH a personal endeavor to make it successful each year! I encourage anyone who has found themself in need of a place to stay while a newborn was in the NICU or during a child illness or injury to send in their story to you, come by the Chamber of Commerce, this Tuesday, October 29th from 3-5:30 pm central time and share your story with the volunteers, who have also stayed at RMH at some time.



I encourage everyone to take the time to pray for all families that have been, will be or are there now, that will enter the doors of any RMH, and if you can make a donation of items off their supply list that would be great, as well!

I know all items donated will be greatly appreciated by the ones in charge of the RMH, so they can help those families during their times of need.
