We are honored to share the story of Arturo, an inspiring young man who has a deep connection to Ronald McDonald House ❤️
Beginning at the age of eighteen months, Arturo faced severe health issues that kept him in and out of the hospital, leading to the amputation of his lower leg. When he first stayed at Ronald McDonald House, there was a lot of uncertainty, but he faced every challenge with fierce determination. With his mother by his side, he returned several times for additional surgeries and follow-up appointments to receive new prostheses as he continued to grow. In recent years, he has flourished, exceeding all expectations and living his life to the fullest- even joining his school basketball team.
Through repeated stays at our Springfield House, Arturo now holds a special place in the hearts of our staff and volunteers. The connections he's made in our Programs will last a lifetime, and we will continue to cherish his time in our House as he continues his journey!
Recently, Arturo was the featured speaker at our 26th Annual Golf Tournament, and his poise, passion, and spirit were in full force. We are so proud of the young man Arturo has become, and grateful of the support we have been able to offer this family 🫂
