Fun, Family, Art, Impact ?? “The impact of Family Support Services (FSS) is evident in the small yet meaningful moments, like seeing children light up and watching parents unwind during Fun Club activities.,” says Katia Hovsepian, FSS intern. “Medical challenges don’t just impact the child receiving care, but also their siblings. We see firsthand how much they are affected, often navigating emotions and changes alongside their families. Providing a special space for siblings, where they can feel seen, have fun, and receive support, has been such an amazing part of this work.” Ronald McDonald House Charities of SoCal (RMHCSC)'s FSS efforts also include providing one-on-one emotional support to families and staff, mindfulness practices, and virtual support after families return home. #KeepingFamiliesClose #RMHOC #FamilySupport #Fun
