The Ronald McDonald House of Delaware is looking forward to 2021 with hope and optimism. Dominic C. Canuso, CFA
After the challenges we faced in 2020, we are planning for a great year. Already, we are working to Pauline M. Corso

year when we hope the promise of a vaccine will once again let us gather together.
Barbara Dukart
Last year, your support never wavered for our House. While we were unsure what 2020 would Joel E. Dukart
mean for our resources to continue to stay open for families, you never let us down. In fact, you Tony Hill
stepped up in a remarkable way. You made the events that we were able to hold ones to remember.

for the House program meant that our families had a hot meal every single day of the year- even Michele Meixell
when our volunteer groups were no longer allowed to cook. Katie Migliocco

continues to be. Which makes the support we have received that much more meaningful. I can’t say Mike Pfeifer
this enough: THANK YOU for supporting our families through what was the House’s toughest year. Hank Rosenberg
Please keep up your support. While we are optimistic, 2021 will continue to be a challenge. Bob Trostel
I would like to thank our dedicated team of staff for keeping the House open and running. While Marichu C. Valencia
our volunteer program was suspended due to COVID-19 visitor restrictions, our staff kept things
running smoothly and made sure our doors never closed to families who needed us. Special Advisory Council
recognition goes to our team of Relief Managers who stepped up to take on extra work hours and R.R.M. Carpenter, III, Chairman
duties when we needed them most. Perry S. Beberman
The family story featured in this issue of Our House highlights Zoe Hall, who has fought sickle cell Mary E. Bowler
disease for years. This painful condition has brought her to Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Joseph Carbonell
Children many times for treatments, sometimes for weeks or months at a time. Zoe and her family Nick Cerchio
have stayed at the Ronald McDonald House both during her treatments, and when her sister was
Joseph G. DiPinto
diagnosed with sickle-cell at just four years old. The Hall family has found a “home-away-from-
home” many, many times at the Ronald McDonald House over 14 years. Zoe is a strong, smart, and Stanley M. Diver
accomplished young woman who the House has been privileged to watch grow up. I invite you Les Dukart
to read their story and learn more about sickle cell disease, about which Zoe is passionate about Tom Ferry
educating her community. Richard J. Gessner, Jr.
The collective effort our staff, volunteers and community enables us to achieve our mission to Shaila Kapur

Jan Shallcross When we ask guest families what they would do if they didn’t have the Ronald McDonald
House as a lodging option during their child’s medical treatment, we often hear things such as:
Resident Manager
Chris Shifflett “We would have depleted our family’s savings to pay for a hotel.”
Special Events Manager “We would have had to drive four hours round trip every day to and from the hospital.”
Dawn Brooks “We would have slept in our car.”

After her transplant, Zoe and April came to the Ronald
McDonald House while Zoe recovered. “The House is giving
me a place to stay safe while we wait for my immune system

likely be devastating for Zoe’s weakened immune system post-
transplant, she is grateful to find respite in a safe environment.
Because of visitor restrictions at the House, Zoe’s other siblings
are not able to stay with them. Zoe and April miss their family
dearly but share that they have discovered a new, deep bond as
mother and daughter. “It’s provided a unique opportunity,” says
Zoe, laughing “I feel kind of like I get her all to myself for once!”

Our House has served many thousands of families
over the last 30 years, and our facilities certainly
get a lot of use! Making continuous improvements
to the House is key to maintaining a safe and
comfortable environment for families. Keeping
up with needed improvements helps prevent the
facility and the program from going into disrepair
and possibly causing for fewer families to be
accommodated.
We are thrilled to share that in 2020, we were able
to upgrade and improve our House to greater Kitchen Renovation
