Our Lavish Girls had the most wonderful experience last Monday, December 13th to have the priviledge of donating services to the families at the Loma Linda Ronald McDonald House. The girls gave haircuts, manicures, eyebreow waxing, and massages and were there from 10am to about 4pm. I personally thought the experience was very rewarding and fulfilling. I got to give a couple men a fresh haircut, one of whom in particular was in the service and told me that he was used to having his hair cut every couple of weeks. Since his baby had been in the hospital, living at the House didn't give him the chance to get his routine cut. I could tell that just this small thing contributed to his confidence and self-esteem, which is exactly the feeling we love getting when someone feels good about themselves.
The staff there also shared with us how much it really meant to the families to have a little time for themselves out of their normally stressful routines to and from the hospital. Here are a few photos from our day with these loving families...
This Christmas tree represents those who have passed away who were once a part of the Ronald McDonald family. It was a real eye opener for the reality of the situation some of these families are in. Our prayers go out to everyone who passes through this house and we just want them to know what a blessing it was serving them and making them feel special in the little ways that can mean so much. <3
