For many people, the holiday season is filled with parties, shopping, laughter and joy - but families with a hospitalized child experience the season much differently and holiday wishes take on a whole new meaning.

Thanks to the generosity of donors just like you, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Indiana is able to provide thousands of families like little Waylon's a "home-away-from-home" during an especially difficult time. That means a private bedroom, homemade meals, spaces to play and, most importantly, the ability to be together  and hold their child's hand while they wait and hope for good outcomes on surgeries, tests and treatments.

As the year comes to a close, please consider making your year-end gift to Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Indiana. Your donation is tax-deductible and helps families experience the most important holiday tradition of all: togetherness.

Thank you for all that you do to keep our families close. Wishing you a very happy holiday season!
