Did you know that RMHC car donation is another way to support Ronald McDonald House locations across Canada? One family is giving back to the South Central Ontario house that helped them through one of the most challenging times of their lives. We met them brimming with gratitude toward the charity, sharing, “Thank you (RMHC) for everything you do for families like ours. Your kindness and compassion make a lasting difference!”
Meet the D’Mello Family
A video is worth a thousand words (so three must be worth 3,000?)! Meet the family who has a mission to express their deep gratitude for RMHC South Central Ontario:
Welcoming three wee ones into the world came with unexpected challenges for one of the baby girls. The D’Mello family found themselves unexpectedly in need of supports extending far outside of their little crew of six.
Where the journey with RMHC South Central Ontario began for D’Mello crew
“As parents of spontaneous triplets (Josie, Chloe & Zoe) and our now 4 year old (Capri), our family faced
unimaginable challenges when one of our daughters, Josie, was diagnosed
with severe Cerebral Palsy.“
“During countless hospital admissions and
extended stays totaling 200+ days, Ronald McDonald House provided us with
far more than just a place to sleep, it gave us comfort, hope, support, and
a sense of normalcy during an incredibly difficult chapter of our lives.
The staff, volunteers, and supporters made us feel welcomed and cared for
every single day. They truly created a home away from home for our family
when we needed it most.”
Dad goes on to say, “The Ronald McDonald House means so much to our family. During one of the
most difficult times in our lives, the House and its incredible staff, volunteers, and supporters made it feel like a true home away from home. We were truly blessed to have had the opportunity to stay there while our
daughter received care.”

The family writes, “As a small token of our appreciation, we are honoured to donate our Dodge
Caravan and Toyota Corolla. We hope that its value can help support other
families who may find themselves walking a similar path.“
