The One About Standing with Families When They Need It Most

Ep. 284

 I had the honour of speaking with the mom of a family who has first-hand experienced @RMHCCanada to understand the unimaginable journey of having a seriously ill child and how Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) Canada goes the extra mile to provide care that only a family can give. Thank you, @thekayleighkennedy for the time and opportunity to sit down and film this podcast segment with me to discuss the importance of RMHC support programs. From meals to mental health services, fitness rooms and non-medical therapies (such as pet and music therapy), RMHC goes above-and-beyond to meet the physical and emotional needs of every family member. However, Up to 4 out of 5 families who need RMHC services can't access them due to lack of space or no available program location, you can help RMHC help give families the care and support only a family can give! Donate today or learn how you can support families in your community at RMHC Canada. The Papaya Podcast is now a proud monthly sponsor of RMHC Canada and would love to invite others to join in giving back this family day *ad
