Our theme today is Family, and our Charity of the Day is the Ronald McDonald House, the charitable organization by McDonald’s which helps keeps families close when they face the hospitalization of a sick child.
“The mission of RMHC is to create, find and support programs that directly improve the health and well-being of children and their families. Our vision is a world where all children have access to medical care, and their families are supported and actively involved in their children's care.”

During the year I explored 30 religions, I found that KINDNESS and GRATITUDE are present in every faith. #AmericaIsKind remins us that in spite of our many differences, these qualities unite us .
