Meet my next everday advocate, Jayme. \u00a0Jayme loves the holiday season and doing Sub for Santa’s for local families. \u00a0She loves to spread the love of the season and feels it brings her more joy.

\nJayme and her husband try to be\u00a0really be mindful of all the widows in their neighborhood and visit with them. \u00a0For the holidays they\u00a0took them all flowers and just let them know they were thinking of them. \u00a0They also try to take his grandma out every now and then because she is also a widow and we are always saying we can’t imagine life without our little family always around to keep us company.

Jayme and her husband decided\u00a0that one of their New Year’s resolutions is to do more service in the community at least once a month. \u00a0Jayme is a NICU nurse and loves what she does. \u00a0 Working at the U of U hospital she gets to see how the March of Dimes and Ronald Mcdonald house works firsthand.<\/p>\n

From Jayme:
\n“The Ronald Mcdonald<\/a>\u00a0House<\/a> provides a temporary home-away-from-home for families of children receiving treatments at nearby hospitals (mainly U of U and Primary Children’s). In the NICU where I work parents are not allowed to spend the night and there is no area for them to shower or rest. The U of U NICU takes babies from Nevada, Idaho Wyoming and Utah. The majority of our families don’t live close by the hospital. The Ronald Mcdonald house provides these families a place to stay so they don’t have to be far from their babies that are in the hospital. The cost is based purely on donation and if you don’t have any money you can stay there for free. They also provide the families with meals, and a shuttle service to get to and from the hospital. Recently I had a baby of my own and he was hospitalized for a few days and luckily I was able to spend the night with him and I lived close to the hospital making it easy to run home to shower, etc. but I can’t imagine not having a place close by my baby to stay. Having your baby hospitalized is hard enough on families and the Ronald Mcdonald house helps ease that burden by providing them a close place to stay, transportation, meals, etc so they don’t have to worry about those things and can focus on the recovery of their baby.”<\/p>\n
