Laila’s Legacy 2024/2025

About this campaign

This year, in memory of Laila, we’re raising money to sponsor a room at the Ronald McDonald house. Our room would be fully sponsored by these donations for one calendar year and would help ensure that the families that stay in that room throughout the year are able to stay close to their kiddos that are ill and/or injured in the hospital local to the house itself. This was a blessing while Laila was in the hospital as I stayed in the Ronald McDonald house several times over her lifetime (for those who are new, I’ll share Laila’s story below). The Ronald McDonald house is crucial in a parent's life while struggling with the non-normal life they may be living in while their child is undergoing treatment or recovering or nearing the end of a long struggle. They provide a clean, warm bed to sleep in, private bathrooms, washers and dryers. Almost every day of the week, volunteers come in to cook either lunch or dinner and if you’ve ever stayed in a hospital for a week, a month or a year, you understand the importance of normalcy. Our sponsorship would ensure that families can stay even if financially they cannot make the donation required to stay.
