Ronald McDonald House Charities 1) Most of us have experienced a time in our lives when we have dealt with the burdens of sickness. Can you think of a time when a loved one has been severely ill?

My goal here is to help you make the decision to help support the Ronald McDonald
for children. The Ronald McDonald House Charities organization was created by McDonalds in 1974 to help children in need. The organization believes that helping one child will go a long way, and they express their commitment in their vision statement, “We believe when you change a child’s life, you change a family’s, which can change a community and, ultimately, the world” (Ronald McDonald House Charity).

1984, the Ronald McDonald House Charities of El Paso, or RMHCELP, first opened its doors to the El Paso community to provide happiness to those families with ailing children. After becoming affiliated with different companies and organizations such as “McDonalds, The Junior League of El Paso, Southwest Airlines, and Wells Fargo,” RMHCELP was able to begin providing assistance to those families who had children receiving care at a local hospital or health institution. Eventually, the charity would expand
When a child is born people would expect the parents to take care of their child until the child is able to take care of themselves. In some families this does happen, but in others the child is forced to work, which is then called child labor. Child labor is work that harms a child or keeps them from attending school.

Activism cannot, and never will be, a passive pursuit. In order to be an activist, one must live it. Sitting idly, preaching about how “this needs to change” while never doing anything to change it isn’t activism. It’s raising awareness at best, and being a hypocrite at its worst. This is not a novel concept. The popular Bible verse, “Faith without works is dead,” is a powerful way to look at this. No matter what beliefs and values one holds, if they do not work towards these ideals, they might not
