Once again Ritchie's has launched it's annual Tractor Trailer for Romero House Food Drive and they need your help...Read more  Ronald McDonald Family Room  June 22, 2011 Adam Ritchie Ritchie's Flooring Warehouse 19 Plaza Blvd, Moncton, NB E1C 0E8 Dear Adam, Ronald McDonald House Atlantic Canada has much for which to be thankful - family, friends and the support of our community and corporate partners. There are nos words to describe the gratitude that we have for the team at Ritchie's Flooring Warehouse for the incredible support shown to us during the construction and finishing of our new Ronald McDonald Family Room in the Moncton Hospital. From the very first contact, we were shown incredible kindness and generosity and for that we are truly thankful. Adam, you made my job very easy...it was a pleasure working with you. As you know, Ronald McDonald Family House Atlantic Canada provides a "homes away from home" to families whose children are receiving medical care. In 2007 we
participated in a project that helped a couple from
Hillborough regain courage
and hope by giving them a new home.
A Home for Charlotte and Jay Some days it
seemed like it might never happen, but early in the morning on
November 24th,
as the rising sun began to brighten the sly and a few flurries
coasted down to earth, 12 very capable men
 congregated at a
barren building site on the Mollins Road, just outside Hillsborough
village limits. It was -7 with a cold winter wind, but they
didn’t seem to notice.They laughingly called themselves the Dirty Dozen and they were there for a single purpose — to build Jay and Charlotte a home. Planning had started in September and slowly the pieces came together; local businesses jumping in to contribute building materials, tradesmen offering their services, individuals Photo provided by Times & Transcript donating funds to build a barrier-free home for the couple. It’s amazing what can happen when a village works together. |
