The Gregg Family
Matthews Folbigg’s partnership with Ronald McDonald House Charities Greater Western Sydney (RMHC GWS) shows just one of the many meaningful ways we can give back to the community in which we live and work.
RMHC GWS provide an amazing, 60 room facility that offers a place to rest for families when their child is undergoing critical treatment at the nearby Westmead Children’s Hospital. Families are supported by the staff and volunteers, helping alleviate some of the stress and financial burden, which allows them to focus on the care and recovery of their child. RMHC GWS becomes their home away from home.
As a dedicated Room Sponsor, Matthews Folbigg are helping keep families like The Gregg’s, close – ensuring Conor’s doting big sister Lola can stand by his side when he visits Westmead Hospital for treatment.
Three-year-old Conor Gregg was born 7 weeks premature. He spent a period on life support, before being diagnosed with a severe condition where Connor has never been able to use his bowels. He’s had multiple surgeries over his young life, the latest of which was just last week.
His Mum, Whitney, says Ronald McDonald House GWS is an amazing support to her family.
“It’s a place to meet others who understand and can relate. The staff are all amazing and take the time to get to know us. Being able to keep our family together has had a massive impact on all of us. Without Ronald McDonald House, I can’t imagine how much harder Connor’s treatment and condition would be. We thank them from the bottom of our heart”.
