Christmas 2020 - Meals That Heal

When my son was just over a year old he was rushed to McMaster Hospital and later diagnosed with a rare, serious heart condition. It was a few days into the New Year, so the Christmas decorations were still up. As I looked around the ICU, I realized how many children were unable to spend Christmas at home with their families. While my son was in the hospital we were generously provided a room and meals at the Ronald McDonald House Hamilton. Every year since, we have collected new toy donations to provide a "smile" to the children that have to spend Christmas in the hospital. We have donated close to 800 new toys in the past 6 years. That's a lot of smiles!!! Unfortunately, this year is a little different due to COVID. Since the children who typically receive these gifts may be high risk or medically fragile, I will not be collecting new toys to donate. Instead I would like to make a "Meals that Heal" donation with your help. For every $350 collected, we can provide all the families staying at Ronald McDonald House Hamilton a healthy home-cooked meal (breakfast or dinner). Please note that 100% of every dollar raised goes directly to offsetting the cost of food. I hope you will consider making a donation to such a wonderful cause! Jenn
