John, a chubby boy, was diagnosed with leukemia when he was eight years old. As a single parent with little family support, John’s mother faced tremendous pressure. She got divorced a few years ago and did not have closed family members by her side. Fortunately, John’s doctor referred the family to Ronald McDonald House® Hong Kong. In this temporary home, they received great support and encouragement. While the mother shared her experience with other parents, she could ease her tension during difficult time. They also joined regular activities such as yoga, music class, etc. that helped them relieve their pressure and anxiety. John has made friends with other children and he became a Super Fan of our activities. He has already recovered and returned home. John and his mother still provide great support to our activities. They are always our “family members”.
