Teaching Children To Give Back

Filed Under: Parenting, Special Needs

Carsyn has had to have surgery before at our local children’s hospital. There is a Ronald McDonald House close, thankfully we haven’t needed it, but I am glad it is there for families that do. Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) is so important to keep families together. Teaching children to give back is super important.

Teaching Children To Give Back

Teaching Children To Give Back

  1. Start your own fundraiser page.
  2. Host a toy drive. Sell the toys and then donate the proceeds.
  3. Enjoy crafting? Sell crafts and donate.
  4. Can you juggle? You can #JuggleForRaiseLove.
  5. Host a bake sale and donate the proceeds.

Teaching Children To Give Back

You can choose to do what you love to help raise money for RMHC. We decided to collect toys the boys no longer play with and sell them. That way I can make room for the new baby, plus we can donate to Ronald McDonald House Charities.

Teaching Children To Give Back

Did you know?

In 2016 alone, RMHC provided 2.4 million overnight stays to families. By doing that they gave families the ability to spend more time with their sick children, to interact with their doctors, and to make important decisions about their children’s care.

RMHC provides places for families with sick children to stay just steps from the hospitals where they are receiving medical care.

Support Ronald McDonald House Charities

You can start your own fundraiser page to raise money for Ronald McDonald House Charities.

    It's important to start young! When we do our house clearing - we gather up all the shampoos, conditioners, soaps, unused cosmetics and polishes, clothing that doesn't fit (that's still in good condition) and my son and I take it down to the women & children shelter out here. He gets to see their joy first hand.

    Our hospital has a Ronald McDonald room. Inpatient families can go down there at night for a free hot meal. I haven't used it often, but I'm sure it's a godsend for many.

    RMHC is amazing, The hospital we had our preemie at was close to home but I can not imagine if it hadn't been.

    When my youngest was born 8 weeks early out of state, if I did not have family in the area, would have totally needed something like the Ronald McDonald house, such a great service they give

Forgot I never posted the photos from Prestyn’s Forgot I never posted the photos from Prestyn’s field trip to the pumpkin patch. His favorite part was feeding the bunny rabbits, he really wants one for a pet. His least favorite part was the corn maze. He ended up going in with his teacher and a few friends, they got lost and had to be rescued. He said he will never go in there again. 🤣

Another one bites the dust, for a total of 4 teeth Another one bites the dust, for a total of 4 teeth before she even turns 6. Craziness. The boys were much later losing their teeth. This one came out at school, so 2 at home and 2 at school so far.

She lost her top tooth this morning while brushing her teeth. All of a sudden she stopped then turned her head and spit the tooth out. I was cracking up. She keeps me on my toes.

Carsyn’s first day of school a few days late. Th Carsyn’s first day of school a few days late. The teachers say he seems happy to be back. This would technically be his 8th grade but we will probably hold him back a few years in middle school before we move him up to high school. Of course they are “virtual” tomorrow and possibly Friday because of the hurricane/tropical storm. Then Labor Day on Monday. So he probably won’t be back again until Tuesday.
Dustyn started 10th grade on Monday! Only 2 more f Dustyn started 10th grade on Monday! Only 2 more first day of school photos to go. 😭

He committed to working out and bulking this Summer and made some huge gains. Swipe to see his last day of school photo in June. We are so proud of him.
