"The Ronald McDonald Family Room was a lifesaver when my baby was in the NICU at EIRMC. It made me worry less being so close by. They provided meals and a good rest when I wasn't in the NICU. The staff is super friendly and helpful."

Read on for another heart warming story from the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Idaho ❤️ You can help us support families like this by registering for the Christmas Gift 5k today.

"I can’t begin to explain how grateful my wife and I are for the services at the Ronald McDonald Family Room! We knew our life would be changing dramatically when we were told we would be having twins over the summer of 2021. We knew it would come with several obstacles along the way since we live in Star Valley, Wyoming and would need to travel for delivery of them.


"Hailey started to have preterm labor at 31 weeks gestational age and was admitted to the hospital. She was on bedrest at the hospital for two weeks until the babies decided it was time to arrive on June 27th at 33 weeks and 5 days.


"Luckily, it was Ronald McDonald Family Room to the rescue. They had a room available for us to move into as soon as Hailey was discharged from the hospital. It gave us tremendous peace of mind knowing we were within a short walk to the NICU and could be with our babies and help with their care any time of day or night. It was also a blessing that all the meals and snacks were provided for us through the entire stay so all our focus and energy could be devoted to caring for our new babies."

Not sure what the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Idaho does for the community?

Read the following story about the Lycan family to see why we are so excited to support them during the Christmas season:

At 30 weeks pregnant, I was fully admitted to EIRMC because my water spontaneously broke. The next day the labor and delivery charge nurse and social worker spoke to me about the NICU and the option to use the Ronald McDonald Family Room. In the next couple of days when I was able to leave my room, the director of the NICU personally took me on a tour. She took my husband and me to the Family Room to speak to the staff about their process.


We were completely relieved and overjoyed to have the ability to utilize the facilities. The support of the staff was a nice shoulder to lean on in such an unforeseen event in our lives. My son Beau was born one short day later at 31 weeks and was directly admitted into the NICU. I was completely nervous about not being close to my little man and not being able to be there at his side as quickly as possible if something were to happen. Though we are not from out of town, we were able to stay overnight at the Family Room; it really gave me an opportunity to settle into the “NICU life” as many put it.


Though my overnight stays at the Family Room were short, I still utilized it over the next 41 days to take a break from taking care of my son during the day. It was nice to be able to sit and have a hot meal or just a healthy snack to recharge. The RMHC staff were so extremely supportive of me and my family. My husband, kiddos, and I will forever be amazed and blessed to have been given the opportunity to utilize the Family Room and have them in our corner during this bump in our road.
