This year, I am so pleased to report, all of your gracious donations go directly to support the program that I have been involved with for over 12 years at the Ronald McDonald Houses (RMH): Family Support Services (FSS).  FSS is in the houses in Stanford, Inland Empire, Pasadena, Los Angeles and at Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times.

Having a child with an illness can be difficult for the whole family. FSS can help families cope with the special challenges of an illness and to build on  the individual family’s own strengths. FSS can also direct parents to the resources that are available to them.

When a family arrives at RMH, they are assigned an FSS person. All FSS staff are masters or doctoral students or graduates of psychology graduate programs. I supervise these students and am a Director of the program.  It is FSS’s responsibility to stay in touch with the family and offer any support that may be helpful. FSS has your back!

FSS provides support and resources to the families of RMH. Individuals, couples,
or the entire family are served in the privacy of the FSS offices or around the
House, in the kitchen, in the playroom, wherever a person feels most comfortable. FSS not only offers support to individual families, but also plans and manages House activities such as Fun Clubs, holiday activities, and special events that provide a caring, supportive,and fun environment for all of the families we serve.
