Family Stories

My granddaughter was born at 24 weeks and airlifted to Sioux Falls. Her mommy stayed at Ronald McDonald House Charities from June 2013 until the end of September 2013 until Kenna got to come home. Her daddy came every weekend and Wednesday night.

Our daughter spent 114 days in the Sanford NICU. RMHC made us feel so safe and welcome. We called it our second home. Our daughter is now 2 years old and doing great. Thank you so much to the RMHC staff and volunteers.

We stayed at RMHC while our son was in the NICU for 44 days. The staff at RMHC were so pleasant and friendly. It was so nice coming back to the house in the evening and having someone to talk to. Maddux was born on March 26, 2019. He was born 7 weeks and 5 days early.

My NICU babies! 5 year old big brother was in for about 80 days and 6 month old little sister was in for 9 days. So thankful for Ronald McDonald House Charities both times!

We spent 28 days at RMHC in October and November of 2015. We are so thankful that we were able to be close to our son who was in the NICU. He had suffered a stroke in utero and had heart and lung issues and meningitis. He's a healthy boy today!

He is so happy! Thank you. We are so grateful for the Ronald McDonald House. We wouldn't have been able to be with him every day. The staff was incredible. It was so nice having someone to visit with in the evenings. They definitely made things a little bit easier on us.

We spent 52 days in 2017 with our twin girls.

3 years of no cancer!

My daughter was 7 weeks early. She was born with many things wrong with her including pneumonia, sepsis, jaundice, etc. We were told that they weren't sure she was going to make it. Just 6 days after she was born, she was off the ventilator and 19 days after she was born, we got to bring her home. Thanks to RMHC for a comfortable home away from home for us while she was in the hospital and I was recovering from an emergency c-section. Here she is 21 years later on her first day of her junior year at college.
