“We could hold Izzy sometimes 12 hours a day.” Thanks to Emmett’s Place, Sarah and Alex could stay close to their sweet baby every step of the way.
When Logan Sheehan faced a life-threatening medical battle, his family found more than just a place to rest at RMHC Dayton—they found a community of care and support. From a warm meal to a kind word, the Family Room became their refuge during an unimaginable time. Now, the Sheehans are giving back to help other families in need.
The Family Room at Dayton Children’s Hospital served as a place of support and comfort for the Moore family when their daughter Madeline was diagnosed with a serious medical condition and spent 24 days in the hospital over the course of 4 visits.
“Being at the House has been amazing. This is the highlight of caring.” For nearly five months, MJ and Debby called RMHC Dayton home.
“Staying at the House made a hard period not so hard. Thank you for showing my son so much love and giving him a home. You make such a difference in our lives.” For 103 days, Kiev and Reesa called RMHC Dayton home as the smiley boy received craniofacial care at Shriners Children’s Ohio.
For over two months, Maria and Alba called the Ronald McDonald House home as Maria received corrective surgery from a cleft lip and cleft pallet.
Last Summer, our Family Room at Dayton Children’s became a refuge for the Stewart Family as 18-month-old Ezali recovered from a potential drowning situation. We were excited to see the family back during the holidays as they delivered wish list items in support of our core programs.
We are very excited to announce that we’ve teamed up with Cohesion Athlete and Ohio State Wide Receiver, Marvin Harrison Jr. to promote Round Up at local McDonald’s.
RMHC Dayton allowed the Roberds/West family to stay together during a time when they wouldn’t have been able to. “I couldn’t imagine what our family would have done without The Ronald McDonald House.” It would have been hard to be around my oldest son Zachary Jr. because it was RSV and flu season and he wasn’t allowed in the NICU, says Jessica West.”“If we weren’t able to stay at RMHC Dayton, we would have had to make a long trip back and forth spending less time together, says Zachary Roberds, Bentley’s dad.
Brooklyn is a 12-year-old burn survivor with 12 stays at The Ronald McDonald House in Dayton. At age two, she was burned over 67% of her body and has had over 100 surgeries.
Brooklyn’s Grandmother, Lordes shared with us, “the House is more than just the sheets and the bed. It’s the nourishing care and support that we receive each time we visit.”
Ronald McDonald House Charities Dayton is celebrating 17 years of Tab-A-PULL-Ooza. This year’s event will take place on Sunday, May 21st at the Second Street Market, 600 East Second Street in downtown Dayton from 11AM-3PM.

Third Grader, Asher Pennington, started a fundraiser at Bear Elementary School in Miamisburg so that he could help kids get the medical care they need. Asher’s passion for giving back began after his brother Arrick spent time in the Dayton Children’s NICU back in 2010. Asher said that his brother spent “time in a box” because of the time he was in an incubator. He started collecting pull tabs because he knows that it is a way to “help families when they need it most.”
