    Celebrating the magic when families, volunteers, and communities come together under one roof of hope.

    Love Has an Address: A Home of Heart at Ronald McDonald House Charities Augusta

    Raise Nation returns this season with a mission that touches the heart of every listener.

    What does love look like when a child is sick? Sometimes, it looks like a warm meal after a long day at the hospital. Sometimes, it’s a cozy room where families can rest without worry. And sometimes, it’s the kindness of strangers who choose to care.

    On this heart-inspiring episode of Raise Nation Radio, host Dawn Lego sits down with David Jacobsen, President and CEO of Ronald McDonald House Charities Augusta, to open up about the ways this extraordinary mission has been keeping families close for 50 years. From unforgettable family stories to the simple yet profound ways communities give back, this conversation reminds us that love doesn’t just heal, it multiplies.

    Guest Reflection:

    Every Ronald McDonald House is proof that when a community decides to care, love becomes stronger than illness, and families find the strength to keep going.“ — David Jacobsen

    Episode Highlights:

    • Jimmy Murray’s visionary leadership
    • Dr. Audrey Evans’ (Mother of Neuroblastoma) compassionate legacy.
    • Why “home” means more than a roof for families facing pediatric medical treatment.
    • Stories that reveal the everyday miracles inside Ronald McDonald Houses.
    • How volunteers turn small acts, like cooking dinner, into lifelong impact.
    • The partnership with McDonald’s and local communities fueling the mission.
