My husband and I took a trip into Baltimore last Friday to drop off some cards to both the Ronald McDonald House and American Cancer Society Hope Lodge. We got a tour of the RMH and were very surprised at how smoothly things were organized there and how different it was from what I expected. Back home our RMH is a small house that someone donated and probably has all of 5 bedrooms. This is a huge building with 36 rooms, if I recall correctly, each having their own bathroom. They have volunteers come in and cook dinners every night for the "residents" which I thought was so heartwarming, knowing all those families and organizations out there volunteer their time to cook for these residents. That definitely goes unnoticed, but shouldn't.
If you ever need to experience a place where people just keep giving, giving and giving more, this is the place to go visit. You will leave there feeling so good and wanting to volunteer in some way or another yourself.
