How Aunt Marie's Legacy Lives on at Ronald McDonald House New York
August is Make-a-Will Month, a time to reflect on the importance of planning for the future and ensuring that our wishes are honored. It’s a time to consider how we can support our loved ones and the causes that matter most to us. Marie’s story is a powerful reminder of the impact that a well-planned will can have, both on our families and our communities.
During Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Ronald McDonald House New York highlights the story of Dimitris, a 10-year-old boy diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), and his amazing mother, Melissa. The family's journey from Trinidad and Tobago to New York City began with a leap of faith and continued forward with support from places the family never knew possible including Ronald McDonald House New York. This is their story.
The Malena family's path through Ronald McDonald House New York (RMH-NY) showcases the family’s immense strength, eternal, unwavering optimism, and the life-transforming impact the RMH-NY community’s support can create for every family it touches.
Helping Hands invites corporate teams to assemble care packages tailored to the specific needs of the families staying at RMH-NY. These packages offer practical support and comfort, providing a sense of normalcy during challenging times. While these projects were once conducted onsite at RMH-NY, the pandemic led to a shift where volunteer activities now often take place in corporate offices or third-party spaces.

A huge THANK YOU to the remarkable family behind Jesse’s Wish Foundation for 20 years of unwavering dedication to families staying at Ronald McDonald House New York.
Jesse Eric Spina started Jesse’s Wish when he was just thirteen years old undergoing his second year of cancer treatment for Ewing’s Sarcoma, a rare bone cancer. Jesse began hosting blood and bone marrow drives in his local community to bring about awareness for donors to go on the national registry. Jesse wanted to be able to increase his friends’ chance of finding a perfect match.
His efforts became his legacy.
Today, his family continues his work in honor of Jesse’s Wish. The Foundation helps bring joy, encouragement, and financial support to children with cancer and their families. We cannot thank Jesse and his family enough for all of the incredible things they have done for our families and others 💛
