“We provide a home away from home to hundreds of families caring for their hospitalized children each year — at no cost to them,†RMHC of Southern West Virginia Executive Director Brooke Hylbert said in the release. “The generous support from Rally on the Levee will help families stay at our Ronald McDonald House free of charge, alleviating the financial stress so many families face when caring for a hospitalized child.â€
