“What a Gift the House is!”
BRIAN -- In 1983 I was seven
years old and growing up in
Marshfield, Wisconsin. My dad
was the local McDonald’s
owner/operator. Unique
to a rural town of 20,000,
Marshfield was home to a
major medical complex.
One day a Marshfield doctor
suggested to my dad that
a Ronald McDonald House
be built in our small town,
making it the first of its kind
Heidi & Brian Fish with Alida & Lucie
in Wisconsin. I remember
planning meetings being held at my parents’ kitchen table. Just a few
short months later, the Marshfield Ronald McDonald House opened its
doors. I remember being touched by the movement and donating all of
my money, all three dollars and sixty five cents. Since its inception more
than 30 years ago, my dad has served as treasurer and board member of
the Marshfield Ronald McDonald House.
HEIDI -- In July 2013 I was pregnant with identical twin girls, Alida and Lucie.
The girls had twin to twin transfusion syndrome, which is where all of the
blood and nutrients flow one way from twin to the other, putting both girls
survival at risk. Due to this and other complications with the pregnancy,
I was on bed rest in Marshfield for 17 days. On the morning of July 24th,
11 weeks before their due date, the decision was made that
the girls needed to be delivered. Lucie weighed 2 pounds 11
ounces and Alida weighed a tiny 1 pound 8 ounces. The babies
clung to life in the early days and our NICU journey began. Lucie
spent 52 days in the NICU and Alida spent 101 days there. We
learned the importance of taking one day at a time. Because
we live in Wausau, more than 50 miles from Marshfield, we were
candidates to stay at the Marshfield Ronald McDonald House.
Luckily Brians parents still lived in Marshfield so we already had
a home away from home, but we started to realize the value
of the Ronald House. Our days in a Ronald House were not far
away.
A few short weeks after we had
both girls home, our lives were
about to change forever yet again.
Alida needed open heart surgery
a
Heidi holding Alid
to repair a hole in her heart. We
anticipated a 7-10 day stay in Milwaukee while she had surgery at
the Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin. We gratefully accepted a room
at the Milwaukee Ronald McDonald House. This became our haven
as our 7-10 day stay turned into 45 days and one surgery became
four, including a permanent pacemaker and a G tube. We were in
Milwaukee for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s. We never
dreamed our first Christmas as a family would be spent 150 miles
from home at a Ronald House while we had a baby in the hospital.
BRIAN -- Today, we are home
with both girls. We’ve had two
Alida during
surgery
more short stays at the Ronald
McDonald House in Milwaukee and more visits
are likely in our future.
Today, I am a proud McDonald’s owner/operator. Today,
Heidi is a member of the board of directors at the Marshfield
Ronald McDonald House. Our family story has come full
circle.
I didn’t quite comprehend the meaning and importance
of my small donation so many years ago, but after being
on the receiving end, I realize what a gift the house is to so
many sick children and their families.
Heidi & Brian at Milwaukee RMH
We will continue to find ways to give back and support the
families who are in need of the wonderful services provided
by the “House that Love Built.”
“In helping others, we shall help ourselves, for whatever good we give out completes the circle
and comes back to us.” Flora Edwards
Volunteers are Priceless
Comfort Food Layered with Love
We are in need of casseroles to freeze so we can make sure we have
a meal for our families every night. After a long day at the hospital,
the last thing our families want to think about is where to get a hot
meal, especially since they are from out of town. It’s our goal to take
away as much stress as possible so the families can focus on helping
their children heal. Casseroles give us the opportunity to provide a
hot meal on nights we don’t have a volunteer group coming in to
prepare dinner.
If you have any questions or to coordinate your donation, please call
our office at 715-387-5899 or email staff@RMHCofMarshfield.org.
Your love of cooking is a great way to provide Comfort Food
Layered with Love!
Meal a Month
Having a home-cooked meal was a relief to Theresa Krohn of
Marshfield during the week she spent at the Ronald McDonald
House in Madison while her daughter was hospitalized.
To show her gratitude for the Ronald McDonald House and
its volunteers, Krohn decided in October 2013 to start making
monthly meals for the Marshfield facility, which provides a
place to stay for out-of-town parents whose children are
receiving treatment at Ministry Saint Joseph’s Children’s
Hospital or Marshfield Clinic.
“From personal experience, it’s satisfying helping the families
who have to travel,” Krohn said.
Theresa Krohn & Kristin Glass
She enlisted the help of her friend Kristin Glass of Marshfield,
who works as a nurse at the hospital’s birth center.
“They’ve been a wonderful group to work with and very faithful in wanting to give back,” said
Sandra Zygarlicke, director of the Marshfield Ronald McDonald House. “The families so appreciate
having a homemade supper meal when they come back from the hospital.”
“A lot of moms with babies in the NICU stay at the Ronald McDonald House,” Glass said. “If they
don’t stay here, they could be hours from their babies. It is rewarding finding other ways to care for
patients and their families and preparing a meal only takes few hours each month.”
She and Krohn brought tater tot casserole and blueberry muffins to the Ronald McDonald House this
time. They plan their meals based on what other volunteers brought during the week, the weather
and what frozen items the facility has in stock.
“If anyone wants to donate a one-time meal and not be on the monthly schedule, we would enjoy
having them do that as well,” Zygarlicke said. “Just give us a call. Weekends and a few weekdays
each month are open for volunteers to bring meals. If you do not have time to prepare a meal but
would like to drop off fresh fruits and veggies, those are always greatly appreciated!”
A Secure Home
Last year the Ronald McDonald House of Marshfield provided housing for 287 families with 418
House visits ranging from days to months in length. Over 9,000 families have stayed in this House
since opening in December, 1983.
Our families rely on a safe, comfortable haven during a
stressful time. We provide a secure facility, working utilities,
accessible kitchen space, maintained common areas, and
much more.
Donors trust in this organization to provide families what
they need seven days a week, 365 days of the year.
This organization could not operate without the strong
support of individuals, businesses, civic groups, churches,
and schools each year providing support for our daily
operations.
Often overlooked is the power of planned gifts that secure the future of the House for those
families who will need our unique services. Planned gifts can come in many forms, but the
simplest and easiest way is to designate the Ronald McDonald House as a beneficiary in your
will or revocable living trust.
As a general rule it is best to consult your financial advisor if you are considering a planned gift,
but below is general language that you can use in a will.
“I give (___ percent of my estate) or (the residue of my estate) or ($_____specific dollar amount)
to Ronald McDonald House Charities of Marshfield, Inc (tax ID #93-0833012), located at 803 W
North Street, Marshfield, WI 54449 for its general use and purposes.”
We are grateful for you support. Please consider the Ronald McDonald House in your personal
estate planning to ensure the long-term sustainability of the House.
Special Thanks!
