Ronald McDonald House BC and Yukon

💛 "Families like the Stephens shouldn’t have to choose between being together and accessing critical care." When baby Thatcher was diagnosed with stage four neuroblastoma, the Stephens family faced unthinkable challenges: ➡️ An 8-hour journey to Vancouver. ➡️ Months of treatment far from home. ➡️ The fear of being separated during Thatcher’s first Christmas. Thanks to Ronald McDonald House BC & Yukon, the Stephens found a place where they could stay together, surrounded by comfort, community, and care. Over six months, the House became their home, making it possible to focus on what mattered most: Thatcher’s recovery. 💡 Your gift today ensures that more families like the Stephens have a place to stay, a community to lean on, and the support to face their child’s medical crisis together. 🎁 Donate before December 31 to bring hope to families and receive your 2024 tax receipt. 👉 https://bit.ly/40vHYvq

We are incredibly grateful to our National Partner, WestJet Cares for Kids, for their support! ✈️❤️ 2 out of 3 Canadians live in a city or town without a specialized children’s hospital – meaning that when their children are diagnosed with a serious illness, they must travel long distances for care. WestJet’s Gift of Flight program helps to bring these families closer to care and each other during their healing journeys. 🏥👨👩👧👦 WestJet also generously supports our events, provides in-kind donations, and offers flights that help our team connect with chapters across Canada. Additionally, WestJet staff members volunteer each year as part of the Family Meals program. Their dedication to supporting us is truly remarkable. 🍽️💕 Together, we are making a difference and keeping families close when it matters most. Thank you, WestJet! 🌟💙 Ronald McDonald House Charities Canada #RMHCNationalPartner
