“So on behalf of the tens of thousands of families who have been or are being treated at Children’s Mercy who benefit from the shelter and the home away from home that the Ronald McDonald House facilities represent, thank you once again to the generosity of the Kansas City community,” said Diane Gallagher, vice chair of the Children’s Mercy board.
Construction of the new space will start in December and is expected to last about a year.
