HOME NEWS Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Antonio, Texas, Inc. Volume 36, Issue No. 32, 2015 4 Paws and a Smile By, Heather Bivin

For just over a year, the San Antonio Ronald McDonald Houses have had visitors from very special volunteers. They don’t prepare meals, do chores, or engage in craft projects, but they will lick your face and allow you to groom them. They are always up for listening to the events of your day, taking a walk around the house or showing off the latest trick they recently learned. I am talking of course about our 4-legged furry friends from Therapy Animals of San Antonio! These smart, sweet natured pups and their amazing pet parents make regular visits to our Ronald McDonald Houses spreading joy, smiles, and compassion Ginny Flanders and Emma to everyone they meet! Their kind eyes and gentle souls warm the hearts of all who they encounter. They truly prove the old adage and live up to the title of “Man's Best Friend”. Headed up by Ginny Flanders, the T.A.S.A. teams are comprised of Ginny and Emma, Donna and Bailey, Kathi, Duncan and Zac, Norma and Shanti, Mary Ann and Kiley, Dan and Moose, Carla and Krissy. We would like to thank all of these terrific members of T.A.S.A. for sharing their 4-legged friends with us, Carla Spraggins and Krissy and we look forward to a long and happy relationship.

Our house inside a wing of the former Santa Rosa Hospital (now the Children’s Hospital of San Antonio or CHOSA) was completely demolished, and our current Penny Viteo house in the Medical Center has operated at or over capacity since 2012. Vice President Operations Carlos Rodriguez Our first steps were to prepare a new strategic plan and economic forecast through 2019.The discipline of working through these two documents confirmed our belief Treasurer/V.P. Finance that we had to expand to meet increased need, and that we could make it work. Simon Thompson

Vice President Development We determined that we not only had to rebuild the CHOSA House, but we also had to expand it. When completed, the CHOSA House will be a modern facility inside Augie Estrada CHOSA, with 16 bedrooms and bathrooms, large kitchen, living and play rooms, laundry facilities, and more. Construction began in August 2015 and we expect it to Secretary be completed near the end of the first quarter of 2016. Clarissa Rodriguez

COUNCIL OF PRESIDENTS In response to the tremendous growth in pediatric services in the Medical Center generally, but particularly at both The University Health System and the Methodist Bess Malone Ted D. Lee Healthcare System, we decided we needed to build (in addition to the existing House) a new Ronald McDonald House in the Medical Center. The new house will be Paul Olivier just up the street from our existing house. We are currently working with an architect to finalize design and broke ground in December. Sharon Smith Dorothy Wise Bob Rios With the additional space from these construction projects, our San Antonio Houses will be able to meet both the current need and the projected increase in demand for Petey Hale Roddy Baker the next few years. And, among other service additions, we will be able to expand our eligibility criteria to accommodate expectant mothers with high-risk pregnancies Emilie Rogers requiring long term bed-rest close to the hospital, and we will have five bedrooms/transplant suites for patients with transplants who need separate accommodations. Allen Cazier Sandi Kolitz Beth Plummer A lot of hard work has already gone into these projects and I want to thank everyone involved. Taking on the construction of one new House is a big undertaking, but Dale Peterson Leslie Foley construction on two overlapping Houses is huge. George McClure Gordon Brown Larry Roberts Obviously fundraising is a huge piece of the work that goes into projects like these. We have many, many people to thank for contributing money to the construction Danielle Marasco projects. With the special help of generous donors and many others we have raised enough to start construction, but we need more. Your direct contributions, large or Carlos Rodriguez small, will help us finish these projects and continue to provide and improve upon the services we offer. San Antonio is an amazingly generous city. Thank you!

Love • Hope • Family and Home! 14 25,000 square-foot House will be located in the Medical Center area. It will be a 21 bedroom home to include five transplant suites, large kitchen, din- This ing room, living room, game room and laundry rooms. This will increase our capacity to serve families of critically ill and injured children while being treated at various medical facilities in San Antonio.

To learn more and become involved in this project, contact Capital Campaign Coordinator, Leslie Foley at (210) 614-2554. Love • Hope • Family and Home! 15 Let the Construction Begin! CAPITAL CAMPAIGN IS IN FULL SWING! By Leslie Foley, Capital Campaign Coordinator

By the time you receive this newsletter, we will be well under way with the renovation and expansion of our 10,700 square foot, 16 bedroom house on the 4th floor of Children’s Hospital of San Antonio. A BIG thank you to all donors and especially the donors who have purchased rooms in our new home. Thank you Security Services Federal Credit Union, Teed off at Cancer, James B. & Lois R. Archer Charitable Foundation, The Charity Ball As- sociation, Delta Delta Delta Alumnae Association, Jessica White/Tom Family, and the Will Smith Foundation who have each purchased specified rooms within our new home. If you would like to donate, it’s never too late!

Our expanded and renovated new Ronald McDonald House will allow a family to remain minutes away from their ill child. Parents and siblings can remain close by and take turns resting and tending to necessary business. Families will be able to take a shower, make a phone call, take a nap, wash their clothes, cook a meal, watch TV, enjoy privacy, relax and distract themselves if only for a few hours. Invaluable time will not be wasted traveling back and forth to their homes. Families won’t need to leave the facility to search for food, spend time and money on gas and parking fees, maneuver downtown and search for hotels and other services. We will be located on the premises saving families precious time, money and providing them a place of refuge. The family can remain together and be there for their child in a moment’s notice. Nobody will have to sleep in a chair, or not sleep at all, eat a meal from a vending machine or try to find a snack when the cafeteria isn’t open.

Around the time we will open downtown, we will break ground on House #4. This 25,000 square foot, 21 bedroom home will be located down the street, minutes away from House # 2 on Sid Katz Street.

We are committed to meeting the demands of the growing pediatric community. Our new homes will ensure that a child and family traveling to San Antonio will be able to find a place to stay in order to receive the life-saving medical treatment required. Our homes will allow a family solitude and comfort and a chance to “regroup” before facing a grim day and the unknown of what may occur. We will do our best to provide comfort, and families can interact with others facing similar circumstances. This makes a huge impact on families simply knowing that we are available to offer our services to them during one of the most stressful situations they will encounter. If only for a few hours, we hope that we can help families and ease their burden. We are told repeatedly how grateful they are for our services, and how we have eased a few of their worries and financial problems by allowing them a place of respite.

As you can see, funding is extremely important as we continue our efforts to further our mission of providing safe, temporary lodging accom- modations for critically injured children and their families.

We can and will accomplish our goal of operating 4 homes, ensuring that no child is turned away or unable to receive life-saving treatment.

Our mission is to operate charitable facilities, which provide safe temporary living accommodations for critically ill and injured children and their families while receiving medical treatment in the San Antonio area. We provide a home where families facing similar challenges and circumstances can interact and lend and receive mutual support during probably the most challenging time of their life. We keep families together.

Our homes are fortunate to be led by a Board of Directors who embrace our mission, respond to needs and truly care about the families we serve. Additionally, our staff are the people who are in our homes day in and day out making sure our families have a safe and comfortable place to come home to. They make our houses into homes and as our charity continues to grow, I feel it is important to recognize these people. We are truly grateful to have long-term, dedicated staff who go above what is expected and I feel both fortunate and blessed to call them my co-workers and friends.

18 Chair-ity for Children by Leslie Foley

With the help from more than 40 artists designing chairs, stools, benches and a tee-pee for children Philip & Jessica Tom, Jody Roesch & Virginia McKinney and adults, we sold out! This year’s creative event featured an oversized Lego activity block, a tee-pee, Wizard of Oz rocking chair, a seat from the Majestic Theatre, and a hunter’s stool, to name a few. As guests admired the chairs and placed bids, they enjoyed over 800 cupcakes from our awesome bakeries and cupcake bakers, had their photo snapped with Santa and Ronald courtesy of Studio Benton, jammed with C-Rock Band and “Nannie Joe Douglas” Trio, and checked their bids on the silent auction. Tommy “T- Bone” Bounds, kicked up our live auction including a visit with Santa, a trip to Disneyland, wine parties, hunting adventures and more! Next year’s date is scheduled for Thursday, July 21st at Old San Francisco Steak House, where we will once again enjoy their wonderful cuisine and hospitality. Host of Fox San Antonio’s “Daytime@Nine” Kimberly Crawford will emcee, and Nannie Joe Douglas joins us again, along with C-Rock who will "Rock the place" and Ronald McDonald will join in too! Thank you sponsors, artists Leslie Foley, Auctioneer Tom, T-Bone Bounds and and attendees for your support and save the date for next year’s 6th Annual Chair-ity Gala – where the RMHC Executive Director Pat Bivin best seat in the house will be reserved for YOU!
