Ronald McDonald House is truly invaluable

Brittany Smith writes, "The left image is Abby Lou at 2 months old, and on the right is her at 3 years old. Several of us wanted to send in pics of our miracles in an effort to spread awareness of the Ronald McDonald House supply drive Tuesday afternoon at the Chamber.

We stayed in the Ronald McDonald House in Lexington, the one in Cincinnati, and the one in Columbus during Abby Lou's 306 day hospital stay. The services they provide are truly invaluable to families like us during some of the most challenging times of our lives. How blessed we are to be able to look back and see how far our miracle has come!!!!!" --Brittany
