“The nurses and doctors in the hospital may have saved Isaac’s life. But Ronald McDonald House saved me.” Laura Connely
Adalee
was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, a condition in which she only had 1 chamber instead of 4. She was immediately flown to Texas Children’s Cardiac ICU as her family made the frantic drive from San Antonio to meet her. Adalee underwent open heart surgery the very next day - the first of several surgeries to repair her heart. For 6 months, her parents and siblings stayed at the Ronald McDonald House on Holcombe, just minutes from the hospitals and doctors. Adalee’s family had shelter, food, transportation and support during their stay with us, so they could focus on what truly mattered - Adalee’s treatment and recovery.
