If left untreated, the consequences could be catastrophic. Cameron’s great-aunt Rabia stepped in to help with his care ..read more

Compiling the 2019 Impact Report was an emotional task. As we were writing about celebration and achievement, we were at the same time suspending programs and reducing services to protect RMH families, volunteers and staff from Coronavirus exposure. With the current uncertainty, it was uplifting to reflect on just how many families found comfort at RMH last year, and heartwarming to recall the many different ways we were able to serve them. It was a reminder of how much what we do matters. For that, and for the community of love and support that enables RMH to have a positive impact on so man ..read more
