The estate planning lawyers at NW Legacy Law are supporting Ronald McDonald House Charities of Oregon & SW Washington, raising funds for families navigating difficult challenges. The NW Legacy Law legal team and their families participated in a fundraiser on Saturday, October 4, raising awareness of the local branch of the Ronald McDonald House charity and contributing to its local efforts to increase donations for chronically ill children and their families. The firm donated a significant amount of money to the local Ronald McDonald House, as well as time to help with the event. Tania Gitch, the chairperson for the governing board of Ronald McDonald House in Oregon, coordinated the fundraiser.
Ronald McDonald House is a national charity that provides a home away from home and a community of support for seriously ill or injured children and their families. Families with children being treated in local hospitals can stay at the Ronald McDonald House for free, rather than spending hundreds of dollars or more on hotel fees. This support becomes particularly important for families facing extended medical treatments, where accommodation costs can quickly become overwhelming during already stressful circumstances. The organization's mission is detailed on their official website at https://www.rmhcoregon.org.
Working with the Ronald McDonald House reflects the NW Legacy Law firm's values of compassion and advocacy, as it helps people during some of the most emotionally trying times of their lives. As estate planning injury lawyers, the firm's legal team helps individuals and families plan for the future, including writing wills, advanced directives, and wise investments to avoid probate. The firm's approach to estate planning can be explored further at https://www.nwlegacylaw.com/estate-planning.
The firm's involvement with Ronald McDonald House Charities of Oregon & SW Washington highlights how professional service organizations can extend their community impact beyond their core business operations. This type of corporate social responsibility initiative demonstrates how legal professionals can contribute to supporting vulnerable families during medical crises, complementing their regular work in estate planning and probate matters. The partnership represents a meaningful intersection between legal services and community support, showing how specialized professionals can leverage their resources and networks to address pressing social needs.
Such initiatives matter because they create tangible support systems for families experiencing medical emergencies, particularly those requiring extended hospital stays. The financial burden of accommodation during medical treatment can exacerbate an already difficult situation, making charitable support essential for maintaining family stability. By participating in these efforts, legal firms like NW Legacy Law demonstrate that professional expertise and community engagement are not mutually exclusive but can work together to create comprehensive support networks for vulnerable populations.
The implications of this announcement extend beyond the immediate fundraising results. It establishes a model for how estate planning and legal professionals can engage with community organizations serving families in crisis. This approach reinforces the social responsibility dimension of legal practice while addressing practical needs of families navigating complex medical situations. The collaboration between legal professionals and medical support charities creates a more holistic support system for families, addressing both their immediate practical needs during medical crises and their long-term planning requirements through estate planning services.
