One night at around midnight, the tube inserted inside my son’s body ripped and blood started to leak out. I panicked and didn’t know what to do. All the other residents were already asleep, but I had to call for help and ended up knocking on Mr. and Mrs. Lau’s door. When they found out what had happened to my son, they quickly brought him to the nearby Prince of Wales Hospital, and at the same time, another resident Mr. Yeung helped me to call ambulance and informed me it was on its way. I was deeply touched at that moment by how everyone would come out to help and support when something happens to one person. I can still vividly recall the scene at that time in my head to this day.

During the period of my child’s treatment, Ronald McDonald House Charities not only provided us with a comfortable living accommodation, more importantly I was able to meet a group of companions who were going through similar ordeal as I was. We shared and supported each other so we didn’t have to feel alone on this road to recovery.

The big common kitchen is where everyone got to show off their cooking skills in a friendly environment. We often shared recipes, discussing what dishes are nutritional and best to increase our children’s appetite. I will never forget when we would all share the food we cooked just like one big family!

Since admitting to Ronald McDonald House, it brought a sense of calmness to us and soothed our emotions, and brought a positive change to my family’s relationship.

The volunteers helped us a lot as they would visit the House every weekend to play with the children, temporarily relieving the children’s stress and pain, and brought a smile to their faces.

Whenever I return from the hospital feeling a bit down and hopeless, other RMH residents would show their support and give me a pad on the back. As simple as telling me “Everything will be better soon!” or “Here, have a bowl of soup” is enough to calm me down.
