Friendships Help Children Cope
Being a kid isn’t always easy. Nine-year-old Christiana Lykins
knows that better than anyone.
That’s because the Camby, Ind., girl has had to carry the stress and
emotional pain of watching her newborn brother suffer breathing
problems caused by a birth defect.
“It’s my second time being a big sister, so I felt a little more
prepared this time,” said Christiana, the oldest of three kids. But
Christiana’s family wasn’t prepared for the news that her now
four-month-old brother Andrew was born with Pierre Robin
Sequence, a condition in which the lower jaw is either smaller in
size or set back from the upper jaw, resulting in a displaced tongue
that impedes breathing.
Christiana’s family has stayed at the Ronald McDonald House for
the past four months while Andrew recovers from corrective
surgery. Instead of spending her days with friends, singing and
dancing at recess and playing ‘American Idol’ on the playground,
Christiana has had to make a new home-away-from-home at the
House, with her other younger brother and mom. It was an
unexpected stay, to be sure, but a welcome haven filled with
friendly, caring and compassionate volunteers and families
experiencing similar situations.
With services offered 24 hours a day, the Ronald McDonald House
aims to keep the spirits of siblings of ill or injured children high,
because experts say healing happens faster when families are
together and their burdens lighter.
Christiana isn’t the only youngster at the House forced to grow up
faster than a child is expected to.
Families soon discover the House is a place where
brothers and sisters can keep a sense of normalcy,
knowing they are all in this together.
There’s 10-year-old Faith Howard, who has been staying at the
Ronald McDonald House for more than 10 months now. Faith’s
sister Heaven has been in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at
Riley Hospital for Children, which means she and her family
spend a lot of time at the hospital.
“The thing I miss most about being home is not being updated on
all the new shows on TV,” Faith said. “I also miss being able to
play outside with my friends.”
Because of sometimes unexpected surgeries and the resulting
odd-hours of visitation schedules, time spent at the House is
hardly consistent for each family. Families with kids like Faith and
Christiana sometimes have to endure erratic sleep schedules.
“Sometimes I don’t go to bed until two,” Christiana said. “Then
we wake up at noon and I feed myself breakfast in the kitchen the
next day.”
Despite the differences in needs and schedules of siblings staying
at the Ronald McDonald House, they all have at least two things in
common: Each child needs their family to stay strong for their ill
brother or sister -- and for themselves -- and each child will
remember the Ronald McDonald House as their home-awayfrom-home in a time of need.
Families soon discover the House is a place where brothers and
sisters can keep a sense of normalcy, knowing they are all in this
together. They can still play and laugh with other children in a
loving and caring environment, which in turn sparks a sense of
hope in the hearts of their parents and loved ones.
From Left: Christiana and Faith enjoy spending time together playing games and
hanging out. The two have become friends while their families stay at the House.

And maybe, that means staying a kid just a little bit longer.

From the Executive Director
Dear Friends,
Once again we have zoomed through the year and it’s fall again! Personally, this is my favorite time of the
year with the cool, crisp evenings and the beautiful colors. It is also the time of year when kids are back in
school, participating in fall sports, and enjoying the fun activities the season brings. For most kids this is an
exciting time full of all the anticipation and preparation that goes with it. But for a few children, they face a
unique challenge - a serious illness.
At the Ronald McDonald House of Indiana (RMHI), we help children and families whose lives have been
turned upside down by a serious illness. Normal concerns of homework and what to wear to school are
replaced with hope for a positive diagnosis and a chance to go home healthy. You can help keep families
together during these challenging times by supporting RMHI through a cash donation.
By giving to RMHI, you will be giving families a home-away-from-home close to their seriously ill children. That means children will spend
less time alone in their hospital room and more time with the people they love the most. Please consider supporting our families in their greatest
time of need by making a gift today. Thank you for your support and generosity!
Warm Regards,
Small Acts Can Have a BIG impact
From collecting pop tabs to selling lemonade at a neighborhood garage
sale, to making goodie bags and writing special notes to the families
staying at the Ronald McDonald House, we are blessed to have the support
of many young people in our community who want to make a difference.
Visit our website at www.rmh-indiana.org to find out more.
Nicholas organized a bike ride in his neighborhood to raise money for
the Ronald McDonald House. He came up with the idea, coordinated
with other kids in his neighborhood and went door to door asking for
donations.
Olivia, pictured with her mom, Stacey, coordinated the donation of
50 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies to the Ronald McDonald House at
Riley and personally delivered them to the House.

Students from Hebron National Junior Honor Society
collected and dropped off more than 1 million pop tabs to
the House. Then they returned later in the day to prepare
dinner for our guest families.
Bishop donated his birthday presents and gift cards from his
eighth birthday party to the Ronald McDonald House. This was
the second time that Bishop donated his gifts from his birthday
party to a local charity.
