Editor's Notes
Imagine…getting a call from your child’s doctor to talk with you about the results of a routine test. Imagine…being told you have to take your child to another city for treatment. Imagine…arriving at the hospital overwhelmed with concern for your sick child and realizing you will need a place to stay for as long as your child is there.
Imagine…hearing about the RMHD “ home away from home” that provides you with a cheerful bedroom, a fully stocked kitchen, and areas for play & rest. A place where you will find support, compassion & understanding; all for a suggested donation of $1
