Through my own personal experience I know how difficult it is to be a parent with a child in the hospital. When all you want is for your child to be well, you forget how important it is to take care of yourself. I wish I had know then that something as incredible as the Moran Family Day Room at the Ronald McDonald House existed. There are no stipulations to whom can use their day room other than, you have a child age 0-21, in a hospital recieving care. If interested in using the facility you simply have to reach out to a member of your child or grandchilds) care team and ask. As described on their webpage, https://rmhprovidence.org/how-to-be-our-guest/day-use-program/ , they offer the following for Day Room users: Free coffee, healthy lunches, drinks & snacks Home cooked meal every night 2 private showers 2 private nap rooms Fitness room Laundry facilities: washers, dryers & detergent Enclosed courtyard & welcoming play area Support from other families going through similar situations & dedicated volunteers 24 hour shuttle service from House to hospitals As a community we are truly blessed to have this facility within our reach.

I had seen the donation boxes a few times while out at McDonald's over the years, but never stopped to ask what the Ronald McDonald House was or what they do. Well, I was very pleased and delighted to learn about all that and more today! They are an incredible organization that provides housing and support to families with children and young adults who are admitted to the nearby hospitals. Not only do they provide beautifully furnished rooms for the families, they also provide everything from clean linens and towels and home-cooked dinners, all in a gorgeous and recently renovated three story building that is within walking distance from Hasbro Children's Hospital, Rhode Island Hospital, and Women & Infants Hospital. We were the dinner volunteers of the day, and worked together as a team to prepare a meal of macaroni and cheese, salad, and baked chicken for the families who reside here. After we spent about an hour in the building's spacious kitchen, we were given a guided tour of the House by Tina Ledo, their Development Associate. She showed us all around, including a family room where kids and their parents can unwind after a long day, a conference room that is open for community meeting use, and a lovely day room that families who are not staying at the House but have children in the hospital can use to recharge between visits. It was absolutely wonderful to see what an amazing place the Ronald McDonald House is, and to hear the stories of how they have helped families with children in the hospital for 30 years and counting! Thank you again for giving us Providence Yelpers an extremely rewarding volunteer opportunity. I very much look forward to volunteering in the future!

I really enjoyed this part and learned a lot. It was a freaking cold and windy day but the boat was comfortable. There was an open area and then thick plastic which protected you from the wind and created "inside" type section. Sadly,med didn't see any seals up close and only pops of their heads in the distance. I think called this a bay tour and explaining seal sightings might happen would manage expectations. Even if we had seen more, it doesn't see, like we could have gotten close enough to really observe them because of safety and protection regulations. I love the cause and supporting this organization and enjoy any type of boat tour. I think if you're expecting to see and photograph seals up close, you'll be disappointed. I was happy to explore and learn about Rose Island. The price was fair, especially if you only do the one hour tour. Staff was friendly and answered questions.

The harbor tour was worth the cost of the trip. My wife and I would go again in a heartbeat. Thanks
