Proceeds of January?s auction will benefit children staying at Ronald McDonald House of Durham. It will enable Ronald McDonald House to purchase computers with web cams and Skype capabilities so critically-ill children will be able to stay in touch with love ones back home. Families staying at the Ronald McDonald House of Durham have traveled more than 50 miles for life-saving treatment at Duke Children?s and other area hospitals. Some families will be away from home for just one night, while others may be with us for weeks and months. For the children, staying in touch with a parent and siblings who remain at home is a critically important part of their care.
Additionally funds from the auction will provide Nintendo DSI systems for children who are spending long hours receiving treatment at the hospital. Giving these children entertainment, distraction and a sense of normalcy during difficult treatments will make a world of difference to them.
A 14-year-old girl and 10-year-old boy were the most recent recipients of Kilian?s Kids gifts thanks to their partnership with the Ronald McDonald House of Durham. The teenage girl was in complete isolation while her immune system rebuilt itself after a bone marrow transplant. Skyping capability on the computer allowed her to attend her bible school class with her church. The young boy was excited about his new Nintendo DSI and games that helped him pass the time during the many hours we was in treatment.
Jessica Maynard, Director of Operations, the Ronald McDonald House of Durham says, "Kilian's Kids is such an amazing organization with such a powerful and much needed focus. I witnessed the most precious 10-year-old boy receive his first Nintendo DSI as a gift from Kilian's Kids. He now had entertainment during his hours upon end of treatment for a brain tumor. Not only was the young boy ecstatic, his father was touched that such a thoughtful organization would choose his son as a recipient of this gift. Thank you Kilian's Kids for touching one special life at a time."
When asked about creating Kilian?s Kids and her goal for the families it supports Jennifer Varner says ?When I was diagnosed with breast cancer I was given so much support by so many. There was no way to thank all of them but I could promise I would pass it on. I have a platform with my business and a great opportunity to do something good for these kids. If we can provide these families with something that allows them to keep up with their life and provide a sense of peace while having to put life on hold, then Kilian?s Kids will be a success.?
