Giving families more time together

“I had my daughter at 33 weeks, and she stayed In the NICU for 2 weeks. Of course, it was stressful, but the Ronald McDonald House gave us a place to stay where I could walk over to my daughter anytime I wanted. I love the Ronald McDonald House and couldn’t thank them enough!”

Healing happens together

When Jennifer started having pain in her right ribs and elevated blood pressure, it was a sign that something was not right with her pregnancy. After a trip to the hospital, it did not take long for the doctors to diagnose Jennifer with HELLP syndrome, a pregnancy complication that affects the blood and liver during pregnancy, and she needed immediate medical attention. She was told she would be delivering her baby as soon as possible, weeks before her due date. Jennifer and Justin were rushed to Charleston, where they would deliver their baby girl, Gracelyn, weeks before her due date. After spending several nights in the hospital, Jennifer was released to go home. Gracelyn, however, had to remain in the NICU a while longer.
