Ronald McDonald House - Columbia, SC
February 2019 to June 2019
I worked the front desk, checking in referrals from the Palmetto Richland Hospital, help them fill out paperwork, give them a tour of the house, get their room ready, prepare breakfast, lunch, or dinner when needed. We fixed soup and sandwiches to take over to the Ronald McDonald room in the hospital for lunch for the families who could not leave the hospital to have lunch at the house. I met some great families and learned a lot about their miracle children and watched how strong parents are going through their crisis. This experience has made me take into consideration how blessed we are and how appreciative of life we should be.
