Meet the Digits

https://www.rmhc-austin.org Ronald McDonald House Austin presents The Digit Family, Produced by Shiny Object www.shiny.tv .

Meet the Digits: Phil, Angie, Lucy, and Jim. An ordinary family enjoying an ordinary summer - until Lucy surprised everybody by falling from her favorite tree, which landed her in an Austin hospital.

The Digits didn't live close enough to drive there every day, but they needed to be with Lucy while she healed. That's when Phil and Angie remembered a small donation they made to a wonderful place they were sure they'd never need.

Since 1985 Ronald McDonald House Austin has been keeping families of sick or injured kids together while their children are undergoing care.

Here, the Digits found good food...comfy beds...a loving staff...and the support of other families.

It's a proven fact that kids heal faster when the people they love are close by. When Mom and Dad were with her, they were rested and calm, which is exactly what Lucy needed.

Last year, Ronald McDonald House Austin served people from all walks of life from 92 counties in Texas and 19 other states. We also had guests from Oaxaca, Mexico; Tegucigalpa, Honduras; and a little town in Denmark that we can't pronounce.

People who live too far away can stay overnight, but anyone with a child receiving care can come for meals, or just a quiet spot to think.

Volunteers generously donate their time to help with housework and make the meals. And no, you can't take them home with you, but if you ever need to come back, they'll be waiting with open arms!

We sure hope you never need us. But Ronald McDonald House Austin needs you. Since the day we opened our doors we have never closed them...Not for a day, not for an hour.

With your friendship, we'll keep on providing loving care and comfort when families need it most...

So, in keeping with the long tradition of Texans helping Texans, we ask you to please donate today...to this very special, absolutely essential cause.
