Did you know? The Shamrock Shake played a crucial role in the founding of RMHC! Thanks to the support of McDonald's and the community, we've been able to help families stay close during their child’s medical journey for 50 years. From now until March 23rd, $0.25 from each shake sold will support RMHC Chapters including families from RMHC of Central Iowa. Grab a Shamrock Shake and be part of this incredible legacy! #KeepingFamiliesClose #McDs #FoundingAndForeverPartner

This #FamilyFriday we are so happy for the Kramer Family as they head back home to Colorado after 12 nights at our House near Blank Children's Hospital! Courtney and Austin stayed with us while Austin received treatment at Infinity Functional Neurology. Mom said, "The Ronald McDonald House was such a blessing to us financially and for our spirits. Every team member was so incredibly kind, loving, helpful, and my son did not want to leave! The facilities and amenities made living away from home easier, and the home cooked meals from the amazingly sweet volunteers were such an act of love towards my tired mama heart." Things Austin loved: ?? Eating the yummy food the volunteers made ?? Making friends with the families and volunteers ?? Watching movies on the big screen ??

This #FamilyFriday, we couldn't be happier for the Gayme Family from Chile, South America who stayed at our House near Blank Children's Hospital for 13 nights and are now going home!! ?? Mikael and his son, Noah, traveled here from Chile for Noah to receive treatment at Infinity Functional Neurology. We were grateful to be able to provide them a home-away-from-home during their time here. "It has been fantastic. Having a nice, clean, comfortable, warm place to stay is a huge help. What is really amazing is also the love we feel from the volunteers. When you eat a plate of food that these people cook for us, it tastes like love!!!" When Noah is older, he wants to be: -Caregiver of animals -Detective -A "Master of Disguise" ?????? #GoingHome #FamilyFriday #RMHCCI
