FA L L 2 014 I S S U E 94 Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Iowa, Inc. HearttoHeart LYNN BOHN & TYLER CROSS SEE TYLER ON TV! Check out our website for videos of Tyler’s story on KCCI. www.rmhdesmoines.org C H A N G E T H E WO R L D T yler Cross was born with a very rare skin disease called Epidermolysis Bullosa, a connective tissue disease resulting in extremely fragile skin that blisters and tears from minor friction or trauma. Children with EB are known as “Butterfly Children” because the disease makes their skin as fragile as the wings of a butterfly. Tyler’s parents, Terry and Joan, were introduced to Ronald McDonald House Charities many years ago. Tyler’s older brother, Justin, was also diagnosed with this same rare disease that took his life at age 22. With the family living in and out of hospitals for 13 years, it was a godsend to learn about the House and the amenities it had to offer their family. “The Ronald McDonald House has been life changing for us. For my husband and I, the RMH is a second home. We have a place to eat supper, a place for a shower, it’s the simple things you miss like being able to put your clothes in a dresser and not live out of a suitcase. We thank all of you for changing our life.” Tyler, now age 17, has been an inspiration to everyone. He lives in constant pain, yet puts smiles on the faces of everyone around him. Even when that pain is most severe, such as when hospital nurses take two to four hours every day to change the bandages covering his entire body, he sings through the pain. He has been known to hold concerts at Blank Children’s Hospital, singing to lift the spirits of the nurses and the other children on his floor. He has shared his story many times and was even called to Capital Hill to meet with members of congress to stress the importance of funding research for Epidermolysis Bullosa and share how the disease has impacted his life. Tyler understands that a little bit adds up and can go along way. He has often donated his piggy bank to various charities and people in need. As he says, “your change, like pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters can change the world!” H OW YO U CA N H E L P As we were putting together this newsletter, we learned that Joan and Terry’s home in Corning, IA is in dire need of a new roof. As you can imagine, even with the best medical insurance, 13 years of hospital bills have made an enormous financial impact. We want to help them replace their roof and we need your help. We have never directly asked for money for a specific family before, however, this situation is so unique, we thought the need justified the ask. If you would like to contribute, the family has set up a fund to accept donations at Iowa State Bank called the Tyler Cross Fund. You can stop by any Iowa State Bank location to donate or mail in a donation to any of their locations. Their main location is 627 East Locust, Des Moines, IA 50309. Be sure to make a note that it is a donation to the Tyler Cross Fund. If you have any questions you can call the bank at 515-288-0111 or visit www.iowastatebanks.com YO U CA N A L S O D O N AT E O N L I N E AT W W W.G O F U N D M E .C O M / H Q UA5 C 2 014 E V EN T S 3 2 N D A N N UA L G OV E R N O R ’ S C H A R I T Y S T E E R S H OW F or the past 32 years, Governor Terry Branstad has joined forces with the Iowa Beef Industry Council and the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association to host the Governor’s Charity Steer Show. At the Governor’s request, the three Ronald McDonald Houses of Iowa would be the beneficiaries of the first event. We are grateful to Governor Branstad for continuing the tradition and helping us support children and their families for 32 years. The 2014 event broke records for the third year in a row, raising $225,850 for the Ronald McDonald Houses in Des Moines, Iowa City and Sioux City. For the past three years, the Iowa youth who have raised the steers in the show come to the Ronald McDonald House with their families to volunteer for a day. Governor Branstad and Lt. Governor Reynolds graciously stop by to eat lunch with the kids and thank them for all of their efforts. Below are pictures of the 32nd Annual Governor’s Charity Steer Show and the Ronald McDonald House volunteer work day.

They saw first hand the services we provide and new they would want to give back. They are giving back and in a big way!!! They rallied their community of Lake View, IA and put together a bike ride in support of the Ronald McDonald House. Local families opened up their homes around Black Hawk Lake and hosted stops for the participants. At each stop a family was placed that has benefited through the services provided and would share their story. After such a successful event they are planning to hold another ride on August 1, 2015. The bike ride is complete with raffle opportunities, visiting host homes, and ending at Stones Pier and listening to a live band. This event was such a success it won Event of the Year in Lake View during their Progress for Promise days.

Chase has been a Boy Scout since he was in Kindergarten and is now a senior at Roosevelt High School in Des Moines. He is employed part-time at the Windsor Heights Hy-Vee. For his Eagle Scout project, he asked the Windsor Heights Community to donate items from the RMH “Wish List” for usage at the House. Chase said, “I’m surprised at how much people are willing to donate.” Other Scouts from his Troop, as well as his supportive family, helped him gather and deliver to the House numerous items which filled two vans. Chase chose the Ronald McDonald House because his own family had stayed in the Ronald McDonald House in Iowa City at one time. Chase was born more than 17 years ago with complications and within two hours of his birth had to undergo surgery. His abdomen had closed while in utero and his organs were left outside of his body, however, an amazing surgeon at Blank Children’s Hospital was able to correct the problems. He spent two (2) months in Blank Children’s Hospital healing under the care of a great team of doctors and nurses.

You give generously to our Ronald McDonald House, which keeps our doors open each and every day. Many of you also share your time and talents with our House as volunteers, expecting nothing in return but perhaps to be there for a weary parent or the feeling that you are making a difference. Even though you likely have never met one of the 400+ families whom you support each year, if there is one thing we hope you will remember, is that our guest families are truly grateful for your generosity, and they will hold you in their hearts long after they leave our House. The families of the Ronald McDonald House become a community. A community that finds strength in each other, that shares their joys, challenges and sorrow with one another. They become a community that long after they are gone have friendships that last a lifetime. The families appreciate the safe haven the House provides while they are going through one of the most stressful times in their lives. Just as I am writing this I took a phone call. It was one of our families that unfortunately, have the need to use our House and our Ronald McDonald Family Room on a regular basis. She had coupons to purchase Tide for the House and wanted to let us know she will deliver the product tomorrow. We have families that in their home communities hold garage sales, have birthday parties where guests bring a gift for the House, and former families that meet here to prepare a hot meal for families that are currently using the Ronald McDonald House. Even though we are located in the Des Moines area, we are still your local charity. We are providing a safe, loving and warm home-away-from-home for families that travel to hospitals and other medical facilities in our area to receive the critical medical care not found in there own community. Please remember us next time you are looking for a local charity to help, even though you may not be in the Des Moines area there are many ways you can help your local community by helping The House That Love Built. So, as we head into the winter season full of family occasions and special times, we ask you to remember that there will always be families at our House going through a difficult time. Those families are not always able to say thanks, so I will do that for them – thank you for preparing hot meals, working a shift at the House or Family Room, dropping off a carload of wish list items, holding fundraisers, and being the wonderful, supportive community that you are. 436 HOURS AARON PUESCHEL AMY GREER BETH LEVALLEY BRANDI THOMAS DANA KORELL DEANNA ROBINSON ERIN REESE SUSAN BEATY Blessings, Brenda Miller Executive Director FAL L 2 014 FAL L 2 014 MEMORIALS IN MEMORY OF JEANNIE ROBERTS ARTIS HOME GALLERIE, INC.
