Why We Love to Help
Little Joe has stolen our hearts. Can you see why?! In July 2007, Joe's mom noticed that 20 month-old Joe was bumping into things, began carrying his neck at a funny angle, and then just stopped walking - choosing to move by crawling. She took him to the doctor where he was diagnosed with a brain tumor and immediately flown to Children's Mercy. His mom was able to get a room that night at Ronald McDonald House and they hunkered down for the battle of their lives.
Joe underwent several surgeries and completed his rounds of chemotherapy but late last Fall found that the tumor was already growing back. Joe's such a sweet little boy who, while staying at the House, made sure to wander around every morning for his "hello" rounds. Our staff and volunteers love to be a part of helping families, just like Joe's, keeping their lives as normal as possible during such extraordinary times.
