House Update: April 2015
Michelle's Message
 

Hello,

 

On Sunday, May 10th, moms everywhere will be showered by their loved ones-celebrated for their selflessness, courage and compassion in raising their children. At the Ronald McDonald House of Indiana, we are constantly reminded of the bond between mother and child. Each day, the moms staying at our House are consumed by the care of their sick or injured child. Their strength and courage is an inspiration to us all.

 

In honor of all of the moms who make sure their children never feel alone in their fight, thank you for your support and for giving our families the gift of togetherness.

 

Thank you!

 

 

Michelle Study-Campbell, CEO
