DETAILS: Â The Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Ohio Valley recently donated a Happy Wheels Cart to the St. Vincent Hospital for Women and Children. The cart is designed to support families with hospitalized children. Volunteers stroll the hallways and provide comfort items as parents focus on their children. The cart includes items for children and their families, such as complimentary coffee, juice boxes, snacks, coloring books, small toys, toiletries and other items.
A blessing ceremony is being held on the pediatric unit of the hospital for the new cart at 10 a.m. on January 9. Besides taking care of the immediate needs of the parents and children, these small tokens from the Happy Wheels Cart provide simple reminders to the families that the St. Vincent staff supports them during a challenging time.
To donate items for the Happy Wheels cart or to volunteer, contact the Ronald McDonald House at  812-402-7642.
