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.

In the heart of Manhattan, where the city's hustle and bustle seem unrelenting, there exists a House that is a haven of support to so many families called Ronald McDonald House New York. Last summer, this haven became home to Polina Papadopoulos and her family, as they faced the challenging journey of Sophia, Polina's 2 1/2-year-old daughter, undergoing treatment for a brain tumor.

"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."
