Illuminate the House

Ends: February 20, 2018

Children Brighten Our World, so we are Inviting You to Illuminate Theirs This Family Day (Monday, Feb.19) 34 families will be staying at RMH London and another 100 families will be visiting the RM Family in London's Children's Hospital. You can bring fun, laughter and memories to RMH families this Family Day when you make a gift to Illuminate the House. We have a goal of raising $25,000! Your gift will help to provide the “behind the scenes” necessities that keep our House cozy for things like… • A good night sleep in a cozy private bedroom- regenerating parents from many long days in hospital and sleepless nights • A hot and refreshing shower to re-energize a tired parent • Access to laundry to help refresh a favourite “blankie” or stuffy Kyleigh’s Family had RMH London to illuminate strength on their most difficult days… “When I look back over the past year it feels like a dream. As if all the health issues Kyleigh had, and overcome were just terrible dreams. I then change her clothes or her shirt dips a little low. I see the scars from the I.V. pokes, the scars from her drainage, or the chest scar from her open heart surgery. When I see these, I see a fighter, I see a survivor, I see a life, and I see a warrior. When I see her smile and laugh, I hear her cry, squeal, talk and babble, I see the love of our family, friends, surgeons, doctors, and nurses. When she blows a kiss or gives a snuggle or hug, I feel the love of a community. Over the past year she has taught me what is important, what is worth fighting for and not to worry over the small things. The most important thing that Kyleigh has taught me is that scars are beautiful. Kyleigh is an active, sassy, happy, full of life 17 month old. She does nothing slowly and continues to surprise us daily. She is a gift we will be forever grateful for.” - Kristy, Brent and Kyleigh
