"Do an act of kindness. Help one person smile." 🙂Today is #WorldSmileDay! A big thank you to Truist Deposit Data Team who brought plenty of smiles and a lot of extra food to our House this week! We have a FULL House, because we're hosting some families who are displaced from Western NC and need power for medical devices for their children. The extra helpings and friendly smiles made our House feel like home. ❤

"Just like every parent, we were proud when something good happened. It was often very hard for some of our friends to process what we were going through. They didn't know how exciting it was for our baby's isolate to be turned down a few degrees or, that we had had our first bath. What these cards did was provide a way for us to tell our baby's story." 🏠
"𝗪𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻'𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂!" Join us on October 26, where the littlest heroes can get up close and take pictures with beloved characters from their favorite books, movies, and sports teams!

The story of our Ronald McDonald House began more than 40 years ago with a brave family; in the midst of their grief for their son Alan, they dreamt of a way to help other families. Alan's journey with cancer and his family's passion has created a legacy that continues to grow. This September, we honor all families facing childhood cancer, and the medical teams, researchers, and caring individuals who are working for #BetterSurvival.
Happy Monday! Who's Rounding Up for RMHCPT today?
