Recycled Cans and Tabs
Last year the House
received a total
of $10,179.87 from
recycling! Over the
past 11 years, the House
has received a grand
total of $89,656.03
from recycling cans
and tabs. This is our
second largest annual
fundraiser for the
Ronald McDonald
House in Marshfield.
Because we are a
nonprofit organization,
we only ask families for
$5.00 a night to stay at
our House. Most families
stay rent free. The money from the aluminum tab recycling program goes
to pay for general operating expenses of the House.
We are very grateful for the participation of so many individuals,
churches, schools, tavern leagues, and clubs in the “PULL FOR THE
RONALD McDONALD HOUSE!” program. If you would like to join us in this
effort, find more info on our website at www.rmhc-marshfield.org.
Vivian’s Story...
The Power of Faith, Hope and Love
By Jenny Erickson
Many Midwesterners will remember the winter of 2013-14 as one of the most brutal we’ve
experienced. I’d definitely agree with that, but not for the same reasons others might. Yes, I too
witnessed the unusually large amounts of snow and endless days of below-zero temps, but most of
my weather observations were done while looking out of the window of a hospital room.
My 13-year-old daughter Vivian was in the
hospital (St. Joseph’s in Marshfield, WI and
Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, OH) from
October 29, 2013 until April 28, 2014. Vivi was
in a medically induced coma during much
of that time because she went into status
epilepticus, meaning her seizure condition,
which began at age 8, became suddenly
worse and uncontrollable.
When Sandy from the Ronald McDonald
House in Marshfield asked me to write about
Vivian’s story, I happily agreed. But what I’m
finding is that it’s impossible to give anyone
a sense of Vivian’s medical journey since last
Vivian as she was being transported on a cold winter’s day
October in a modest article such as this one.
by the Cleveland Clinic transport team.
I’d simply take over the whole newsletter (and
probably the next one, too). Instead, I invite you to visit www.caringbridge.org/visit/vivianerickson to
read the entries I created on her CaringBridge site to get a better sense of the magnitude of what
she went through.
So instead of talking about comas,
intubation, EEGs, infections, medications
and surgeries, I’d rather let you know what I
believe made all of the difference in Vivian’s
healing: faith, hope and love.
Vivian and Jenny celebrating 1 month of being seizure free.
That faith, hope and love actually started
with Vivi. With her, it was never “if we get
my seizures fixed…” it was “WHEN we get my
seizures fixed.” There was never a doubt in
her mind that the day would come when
we’d figure out what was causing her seizures
and then do what we needed to do to end
them. And quite honestly, for a long time,
she was the only one with that unshakable
resolve.
During Vivian’s hospitalization, I had
a choice. I could either focus on the
negative or do everything in my power to
embody the patience, persistence and
perseverance it would take to be her
number one advocate. So that is what I
did. Well, most days. I won’t claim to be
perfect, but I can tell you that when my
faith, hope and love were at their strongest,
I weathered the difficult times much better
and had the strength to see past them to
the kind of future Vivi knew she could have.
The doctors told us several times there
was a good chance Vivi wouldn’t survive.
Whether it be due to her seizures, her longterm placement in the coma, the many
infections that riddled her body along the
way, or the surgeries she needed to have,
we were given some statistics that to this
day make me cry. Then in the darkest days,
while holding Vivian’s hand as she lay in
her comatose state, I heard her voice in my
head: “Mom, you’re not giving up on me,
are you?”
No. Never.
Vivian growing stronger every day in therapy.
I believe that it was faith, hope and love
that helped me make better decisions for Vivi. I also believe the more the doctors knew where I
stood, the stronger their hope became as well. In addition, being surrounded by the community
of people I met at the Ronald McDonald Houses in Marshfield and Cleveland was just like being
surrounded by faith, hope and love. The kind and considerate staff made such a difference in
alleviating some of my stress (especially during the holidays) by providing a comfortable place to
stay as well as meals so I could focus on being with my daughter. And the parents and children who
I met during our journey – some of whom I still keep in touch with – inspired me every day with their
own stories and words of encouragement.
It’s our job – our privilege – as parents to be led by love and not fear. And that is such a hard thing to
do. Of course, it’s not hard to love our children – we do that unconditionally. But, when something
terrifying gets in our way that threatens their survival, that fear feels like an elephant sitting on your
chest. The only thing that lifts the weight?
Faith, hope and love.
Sometimes it may feel like it’s the only thing you’ve got, but after you get past the darkest times,
you’ll realize it wasn’t the only thing – it was EVERYTHING.
Volunteer Appreciation Event
A Volunteer Appreciation Event was held Thursday evening, April 10, at the UWMarshfield to honor the House volunteers of the Ronald McDonald House-Marshfield for
their many years of service. Cindy Schecklman and Denise Eiberg were each honored
for 10 years of service, Mabel Luepke for 20 years, and Karen Reyes for 30 years. Kathy
Schrader was chosen to be honored as our 2014 “Senior Volunteer of the Year.” Kathy
has been helping out as a House Volunteer
on Mondays since 2001. Kathy said that she
likes to keep busy, and one of her favorite
past times is volunteering at the Ronald
McDonald House. Robert and Geraldine
Foltz were also honored as “Senior Meal of
the Month” volunteers. They retired in March
after coming to the House once a month
since the summer of 2002 to make a homemade supper meal for our House families.
Most months they would stay to serve the
meal, visit with the families, and clean up
after. What dedication and service!
We all know the importance of the
Volunteers at the Ronald McDonald House
Robert & Geraldine Foltz and Kathy Schr
ader
in Marshfield. The Board and staff recognize
that they are the oxygen needed to
accomplish the many tasks and projects, both inside and outside of the House. They
generously give over 1,000 hours of their time annually.
Our small but faithful core of House volunteers are a part of a great network of over
140,000 volunteers at 336 Ronald McDonald Houses in 35 countries and regions around
the world. These volunteers are the backbone of the Ronald McDonald House program.
They cook and clean; garden and grill; do laundry and lend a listening ear. Most
importantly though, RMH volunteers give our families an extra dose of compassion and
care that truly helps in the healing process.
If you are interested in becoming a regular House Volunteer, please call the Office at
715.387.5899 so we can set up a time to discuss how you may get involved locally.
For example, we are in need of a volunteer(s) to mow and trim the RMH lawn weekly.
We provide the equipment. You provide the time and energy. Or you might like to
schedule a time to come and grill out for the families. A great weekend idea to get
involved and give back! You might like to clean, bake, make ice-cream sundaes, or do
bedroom laundry for the families after they check out. Maybe you would like to gather
a group of friends or co-workers and help out at our Cranberry Century Bike Tour in
September or sign up to do the fall Yard-House Cleaning Fling. Both of these ideas are
annual one-day volunteer events.
Once again, THANK YOU, Ronald McDonald House Volunteers. We couldn’t do what
we do without you!
