Ronald McDonald House
- Volunteer Opportunities listed below The Monaghan family is grateful to have been able to use the Ronald McDonald House at Albany Hospital. During Patrick's untimely death, his sister Rory and brother Dennis were given a room to sleep in while their parents met with doctors to prepare for the donation of Patrick's organs.
It was a great comfort to the Monaghan family to have the children in safe, comfortable environment. In appreciation Rory (Patrick's Sister) has started a fund in her brother's name. The contributions will go directly to the Ronald McDonald House. www.RonaldHouse-SNJ.org The Monaghan Family has adopted a room at their local Ronald McDonald House in Camden, NJ. They will furnish and decorate the room and stock supplies for the families staying in "Pappy's Room". This will be an ongoing endeavor for the family. Since Patrick's death, Rory has supplied 30 families with Easter baskets, and cooked breakfast for the families staying in Camden with the help of her St. Mary's of the Lakes Jr. Youth Group. If you would like to volunteer your time, you can contact Rory at info@patricksdreams.org Volunteer Information Ronald McDonald House Family Meals Programs provides the comforts of home. We all have favorite memories associated with a certain dish or meal. And when you're far from home and having to deal with a child's illness or injury the comforts of home become even more important. Several nights a week (and some weekend mornings), community groups, families, scout troops, sports teams bring home cooking to the Ronald McDonald House by preparing and serving a meal for families. If you are interested in volunteering please contact Dorothy Lucca, Ronald McDonald House Volunteer Coordinator, at 856-966-4663
