Laura’s “why” is not difficult to understand, she wrote, “Thankfully, our family never needed to use the services of the Ronald McDonald House but we did have several medical crises with our own children, so I can empathize with the anxiety and terror every family with ill or injured children feel. Obviously, after an entire career of caring for kids and their families, it is my passion, which makes the Ronald McDonald House mission a no-brainer.  The fact that all of our work fund-raising stays in our community, makes RMHC especially attractive among all of the amazing children’s charities that could command my time.  The staff is kept lean, committed and dedicated but limited, so that the bulk of every dollar earned for the charity goes toward programming.  As a volunteer at RMHCSC I can be personally involved in a very real way. By talking to parents, offering to prepare meals, involvement in fundraising events, I am further energized to come back to volunteer and donate again and again.”
