Through their McDonald’s giving over the years, Raj and his team have been able to support families from Yorkton, and beyond, who have needed to travel for the medical needs of their child or children. In the past two years, 19 families from the city of Yorkton have stayed at the Ronald McDonald House in Saskatoon for a total of 214 nights – and your McDonald’s in Yorkton has supported them.
One of these families is the Agar family who were introduced to the House in 2016. “About 5 years ago our oldest daughter started having health issues, during this time we were introduced to the Ronald McDonald House in Saskatoon, a House full of love and support. The House was able to eliminate some of our everyday worries (meals and lodging) allowing our family to focus 100 per cent on our daughter’s health. The House provided an environment that let our daughter forget why she was there. Two years later, when our youngest daughter fell ill we took off to Saskatoon knowing where we would find open arms. We are forever grateful for the House and the love and support they showed our family.” ~ Agar Family
