My Why – Teresa White

After working as a volunteer for the Ronald McDonald House for several years, I had the opportunity to join the staff, and I jumped at the chance. I knew I wanted to do work that made an impact on people in a real way. Working at the Ronald McDonald House, I get to come alongside families during a difficult time. It is a humbling privilege to share someone’s journey, to celebrate milestones, offer encouragement, and sometimes, help to shoulder disappointment and grief. In my role now, I get to connect the feelings of comfort, relief and gratitude our families have when they stay at the House with the amazing supporters who make it possible. Our donors, volunteers, staff and families fill me with hope and joy every day. #MyWhy
