    Ronald McDonald House is like that for my family. I had no idea how much good that charity did in a time of need, until we needed it.

      Same. I didn’t technically qualify at the time, but I had a kid hospitalized when I was about 4000 miles from home with no car, no phone, and no immediate contacts. They hooked me up with a room outside the hospital and just asked for a donation if I wanted and to keep it tidy.
