Restricted donation to ronald mcdonald house charities of the inland northwest spokane campus capital campaign. The spokane campus is located just minutes from sacred heart children's hospital, multicare, shriners, st. lukes, and other treatment facilities. When families are close to the hospital, they are able to spend more time with their child and have frequent interactions with their clinical care team which helps them better participate in the care decisions. Additionally, families staying at rmhc have free laundry facilities, shuttle rides to and from the hospital, frequent meals prepared by volunteers through the make-a-meal program and much more.
American childhood Cancer organization inland northwest's unique mission is to help each family cope with life during childhood Cancer treatments and rebuild their lives after Cancer from the experienced perspective of those who have been there before. Donations will enhance the lives of children with Cancer and their families by providing emotional and practical support, education, patient advocacy, and the assurance that no child or family will have to fight Cancer alone.
