RMHC of Central Ohio provides hope for families of seriously ill children. #CbusRMH is #KeepingFamiliesClose

RMHC of Central Ohio
Thank you for the delivery, Dane. 📬 💌 Dear Thank you for the delivery, Dane.
📬 💌

Dear RMHC of Central Ohio,

17 years ago, my family stayed at the Ronald McDonald House in Long Island for the first time. Although I was a baby, under a year old during the first stay, you provided a safe, welcoming home for us. My parents still talk about what a great experience it was to meet people from all over the world, to talk to the volunteers and the people who work for your wonderful Ronald McDonald houses.

My mom decided after that first trip to New York that she needed to organize all of the material from the doctors. Hence, the first folder was created. Over the years, as a part of our commitment to giving back, our family has provided hundreds of folders to families at the Ronald McDonald House in Portland, Oregon and in Sacramento, California. I decided as a tribute to the many houses where we have actually been guests (Cincinnati, Columbus, Long Island) that during my last year in high school we would also provide folders for families in those houses as well. 

Please accept these 40 folders for your guests. Included in the folders are paper for notes, a plastic sheet protector to hold important papers, business card Holder, some coloring pages, and some stickers. Also included is a pen for each family, placing the pen inside the folder provided to be cumbersome for the packaging, so I would ask that you provide a pen with each folder to every family for me.

I was fortunate to be a guest in three different Ronald McDonald houses throughout the country. I know that staying there was a beneficial to me and also my parents, and my sister was even with us on one extended trip to Cincinnati. I want to thank you for giving me and all kids, a great start.

Very sincerely, 

Dane Guthner 
Rocklin, CA
