Vanessa Fuquay, a philanthropy consultant and community volunteer from Preston Hollow, got involved with Ronald McDonald House Dallas a few years ago while serving on the TRAINS at NorthPark Committee.
Today, she’s co-chairing with Elizabeth Anderson the annual fundraiser, which features a massive model train exhibit with custom-painted cars and locomotives. Her daughter, Manning, is serving as junior chair.
What does Ronald McDonald House do?
It provides a home away from home for families with children needing long-term care at a Dallas-area hospital.
During their stay, the House provides families with meals, transportation, laundry services, family activities, and other needs.
Why do you support it today?
As a parent myself, I am so glad that Ronald McDonald House is in our backyard. We can’t predict when our child needs medical care. That time must be so scary, and in some cases, unimaginable. We are lucky to have a place as warm and prepared to provide such vital services to families in need.
