MY ACT LOCAL PROJECTBY NICHOLEJOHNSON THE RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE OF DALLAS
The Ronald McDonald House Story • The Ronald McDonald House was established to help families with children who are very sick. • Families can stay there while their child is getting medical treatment for a donation of below $20.00 per night or for free if they can not afford to pay anything. • They are able to do this due to the donations that they receive from individuals and companies.
I had a bake sale • In order to help the Ronald McDonald House I had a bake sale and raised $150.00 • I purchased prepackaged muffins, granola bars, water, juice boxes, paper towels, toilet tissue, coffee and a few other items at Costco to take to them.
I collected pop tabs • With the help of family and friends I collected 4000 pop tabs that the Ronald McDonald House is able to turn in to companies for donations.
I took a tour • In order to better understand what they do for the families that are staying there I took a tour of the house.
I now understand how important it is to help others. • By going to the Ronald McDonald House I realized how important it is to help others. I saw all the photos on the wall of the sick kids that where helped by them and how they might not have been able to get better with out the help they received. It would be very sad if a kid who is sick could not get better because no one was willing to help!
