29 Jul The Villegas Family: Transplant Recovery at RMHC San Antonio

Posted at 14:54h in Families by

When our daughter Veronica Villegas underwent a kidney transplant, our lives changed entirely. The surgery itself was a monumental event, but our concern did not end there. The medication she needed post-surgery weakened her immune system, making a clean and safe environment critical for her recovery.

A Home for Clean and Comfortable Recovery

Our family needed a place where we could be confident that she would stay healthy and free of germs during her healing journey. The thought of staying in a hotel, where we couldn’t control the cleanliness, added to our stress of a healthy recovery in such a fragile state. That’s when we found the Ronald McDonald House.

Peace of Mind in Every Corner

From the moment we arrived, we knew we had made the right decision. The Ronald McDonald House provided a stress-free environment where we could focus solely on our daughter’s recovery. The cleanliness of the facility and the attention to safety gave us the peace of mind we desperately needed.

Being close to the hospital was another huge relief. Knowing that we were just minutes away from medical help in case of any emergencies made all the difference in our state of mind.

The Ronald McDonald House is Where you Find Family Beyond Home

The staff at the Ronald McDonald House were incredibly kind and compassionate. They, along with the dedicated volunteers who came to clean and cook for the families, made us feel supported and cared for during one of the most challenging times in our lives.

Thanks to RMHC San Antonio, our daughter had the best possible environment for her recovery, and we had the peace of mind to support her every step of the way. We are deeply grateful to the Ronald McDonald House for providing us with a safe recovery and loving support when we needed it most.
