As the anticipation mounts for the 30th Annual Skate with the Greats, a ten-year-old firecracker named Sonya's remarkable journey comes into focus. Her story, defined by courage and determination, is a source of inspiration. Exactly the type of inspiration that Ronald McDonald House New York’s events throughout the year are built upon.

Viviana's recounting of their journey revealed a story of resilience and enduring love. Originating from Venezuela and currently residing in a shelter, they faced daily challenges. However, faced with adversity, the Ronald McDonald Family Room at Elmhurst served as a place of genuine comfort and true kindness toward the family. 

Casey and Andrew's story unfolded at Ronald McDonald House New York in 2022. Facing the challenges of neuroblastoma, a rare cancer that primarily affects young children, the family's resilience became evident during their prolonged stay at the House.

"Thank you. You changed our lives and I firmly believe you saved Andrew's. I don't think it would have been a good outcome if we had to go a different way. I really hope that you continue to donate to help kids like him. (Your donation) have been life changing for my family."
