Gift A Moment Series: Part one
NANAIMO — Stephen Mohan and his family first stayed at Ronald McDonald House BC and Yukon when their son Jasper was diagnosed with cancer as a baby.
Twelve years later, Jasper’s cancer came back in another form of the disease. They spent about 18 months at the RMH, including a continuous stretch of 8 months.
Mohan shared this excerpt from a book he wrote on his experience:
In the middle of December Barb and I were able to obtain a room at the Ronald McDonald House, however, Jasper remained in the hospital until January. When we came to the house with Jasper as a baby we were in one day and out the next, so we didn’t connect with the staff or other families. Our family was now in need of extended stays here. The house became a sanctuary of love for us.
