Born November 9, 2022 at less than 1 lb. and more than 15 weeks premature, baby Hayden needs the best intensive medical care available to survive. And his parents need to be by his side which poses a problem. Their family home is 3 hours away from the hospital and the drive can be arduous. Luckily there is a convenient and comforting Ronald McDonald House nearby, asking only for a donation to be able to stay there. This home away from home has given Hayden’s parents, Lindsey & Colby, not only a place to shower and sleep, but also meals and a shared sense of community.

Thankfully all the care Hayden has received is paying off. He’s now over 5 lbs. and is working toward getting off his breathing apparatus and breathing on his own.

Lindsey & Colby have called Ronald McDonald House home for over 100 days and counting

Hayden is the great-nephew of our own Matt Ratermann.
