The Ravelo Family
Patient: Ivan
Age: 6
Diagnosis: Fanconi Anemia
Length of Stay: 3 months
Ivan is from Chicago, Illinois and
he loves basketball, baseball, wrestling and video
games. Ivan and his family came to Minnesota so that
he could receive a bone marrow transplant from his
younger brother, Fabian.
While at the Ronald McDonald House, Ivan and his family
took full advantage of the courtyard, which serves
as a central meeting place for families to share stories
and enjoy a breath of fresh air away from the hospital
during the warm summer months. When not receiving
treatment, Ivan could be found cruising around the
courtyard after learning how to ride a bike without
training wheels during his stay... a precious moment
made possible by his little brother.
"The Ronald McDonald House always has FAMILY
in mind."
-Ivan's Mom |
