~Just Saying~

I just want to put a plug in for the Ronald McDonald House in Macon, where we stayed during our 52-day NNICU stay. I had never given any thought to such a place ...... until we needed it. In 3 months' time, 3 teachers from Tift County stayed in the Ronald McDonald House in Macon. That's UNBELIEVABLE! When we got there, one teacher was leaving. Not long after we left, another teacher checked in. This place really ministers to a LOT of people from Tifton. For most people in Tifton, we don't even give any thought to the RMH. If you are looking for a charity to donate money to (for tax breaks or whatever), PLEASE consider giving to the Ronald McDonald House in Macon. They minister to families during some of the darkest moments in their lives. It costs $15 per night to stay at RMH, which eliminates the HUGE burden of a hotel room charge every night. Supper is provided each week night by local organizations and families. The kitchen is completely furnished for anyone who feels up to cooking their own meals. We would have an additional burden of huge hotel charges had we not had the blessing of staying at the RMH. As it was, there were so many donations made towards our stay that we only had to pay for two nights for ourselves. The RMH is one block from the hospital, so it is the closest place to stay and be near your child in the hospital.

I know in these economic times, money is tight. However, if you are looking for a worthy place to donate to, RMH in Macon could definitely use your money to cover additional costs. The staff there is TOP NOTCH and works to keep the place up so that families can enjoy their stay. They are very caring and concerned about the families and their little ones who are in the hospital.

If you are interested, I have included their contact information below. They take monetary donations, household cleaning supplies, kitchen and bathroom supplies, food donations, and pop tops off aluminum cans.

Today, I am remembering how thankful we were to get into the RMH for our stay in Macon. It was truly a blessing to us. What has God blessed you with today?

Love to all,
