The Durocher Family

“I’ll always consider the RMH our home away from home because they were there for us when life had knocked us down and they helped us get back up.”

My name is Sydney, my boyfriend’s name is Cory and our daughter’s name is Layna.

Our first experience with RMHC-SK occurred when our daughter was first born, she was very sick at the time and we were staying at a hotel prior because we thought we would be going home soon but unfortunately, that wasn’t the case so we were referred to the Ronald McDonald House.

When we first got there, I was thinking how beautiful the house was, how clean the rooms were and how amazing and friendly the staff were. Living and staying at the RMHC-SK was so good for us because it was so close to the hospital, the Home for Dinner program was such a life savior because after being at the hospital all day I was never in the mood to cook. We stayed at the house for 285 days, it was our home away from home and we would have been there longer but due to our daughter’s medical condition, we had to relocate to Saskatoon.

Leaving the Ronald McDonald House left me with feelings of gratitude and acceptance of our situation. I’ll always consider the RMH our home away from home because they were there for us when life had knocked us down and they helped us get back up. So thank you RMHC-SK, I’ll forever be grateful.
