Many people forget that in these tough times, when we think we have it hard, there many more that have it much worse. For that reason I have decided to make Wednesdays "Charity Day". I will focus on a different charity each Wednesday. It is my Mathew 25:31-46 section. As I posted before on this blog, that is my favorite part of the Bible. We should always remember and take care of "the least among us".
Ronald McDonald House of Nashville
"The Ronald McDonald House in Nashville, open since July 1991, is a home providing hot meals, laundry facilities and a place to rest. It has all the benefits of a house, such as a playroom, library and 2 kitchens. More importantly, the Ronald McDonald House provides an environment of emotional support from staff members, volunteers and other families who are going through similar circumstances.
Since the House opened, over 10,000 families have stayed at the Ronald McDonald House in Nashville. In 2008 more than 500 families were served. These families came from all of Tennessee’s 95 counties, 65 counties in Kentucky, as well as 39 other states, two territories and 12 foreign countries.
The Nashville House requests that families pay $15 per night. However, the primary goal is to keep these families together, so we never refuse service because a family is unable to pay. In 2008, 67% could not afford to pay anything and 10% paid only a partial fee. The average monthly occupancy in 2008 was 100%, the average daily waiting list consisted of 6 families and the average length of stay was 19 nights."
