When a child faces serious illness, the entire family feels the weight of challenges and anxiety. But even in the toughest times, support and companionship can bring light to their darkest days.
Join us as the ‘House Angel’ in making a difference and creating a ‘home away from home’ for these families. Your companionship would offer them the strength and support they need to embark on the road to recovery.
Happiness Through Hardship – A Story of Leo’s Family
Leo and his mother were the first residents of the Kwun Tong House of Ronald McDonald House Charities. Diagnosed with acute T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia a few years ago, Leo has to undergo a 125-week treatment, the number of white blood cells in his body was ten times higher than typical leukemia, and thus the dosage of medication used in his treatment was also higher.
Leo and his mother required daily commuting between the hospital and home for treatment. At times, he has to be constantly admitted to the hospital due to recurrent fever, making the journey both lengthy and draining.
Subsequently, with the help of the medical social worker and donations, they were arranged to stay at Ronald McDonald House (RMH) in Kwun Tong, significantly easing their transportation challenges. The arrangement alleviated much of the caregiving burden, enabling Leo’s mother to concentrate on his care.
The road to recovery might be long but never alone. Besides simplifying transportation logistics, Leo’s mother has been thankful to meet families having the same experience as hers and finds comfort and support from them. “I told Leo that regardless his illness, remember the kindness you received, and offer your help to others in the future.”
“I never feel inadequate. It’s been great there are parents supporting parents here. I told myself it’s a great life lesson for me to spend time with and take good care of Leo,” concludes Leo’s mother. In addition to providing essential amenities, RMH extends support for the well-being of families. As a “home away from home” for families with ill or injured children on their recovery journey, RMH is a place of that love built.
