After having my son, my fifth child, and finding out about his Congenital Heart Disease and diagnosis of Down Syndrome, I was not sure where to go. He needed two heart surgeries by the age of 4 months.
I saw firsthand nonprofits at work and how they continued to give hope when all felt lost. Without the nonprofits, Ronald McDonald House is one, I don't know where we would have been.
We had 4 other children left behind six to seven hours away. We commuted back and forth for approximately four months in order to spend time with our son. It was difficult at times to find lodging for our family and it was during the holidays (Thanksgiving and Christmas).
Because of our experience, I wanted to give back where I could to nonprofits supporting families like mine in hard times.
