Cohen and Cooper came into the world prematurely and were each diagnosed with life-threatening respiratory and swallowing complications. The usual emotional journey of welcoming a child into the world was taken into overdrive for parents Emily and Ben, who watched both Cohen and Cooper fight for the lives they’d only just begun.
Little Banjo arrived in the world, a true fighter born through a Caesarean delivery at just over 25 weeks In the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), Melanie’s heart swelled with emotions as she laid eyes on Banjo for the first time.
The kindness of strangers became a lifeline for Emma and her family. From groups cooking hearty meals to volunteers lending a helping hand, RMHC’s community rallied around them.
Thanks to your support, the OMG Twins and their family have been able to be together at Ronald McDonald House, staying 133 nights.
For mum Nicole, Ronald McDonald House meant stability. “It provided such a huge support network for us. To be able to do everything at once – be there for Eli when he was sick, there for Ava to try and keep some normalcy in a time for crisis.”
Being premature meant Harper needed a little extra help and support. So she spent the following 4 months in the NICU at the John Hunter Hospital in the height of COVID-19. During a very difficult time, the Family Room within the NICU Ward was a shining beacon of light and hope.
Ozzie was just 2 years and 3 months old when he was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. They called Ronald McDonald House ‘Home’ for a staggering 263 nights while Ozzie underwent treatment.
