Shiv's Eagle Scout Project Ronald McDonald House Charities

Hi, my name is Shiv and I am working toward my Eagle Scout Project. One of my requirements is to plan and complete a service project designed to benefit the local community.

For my project, I am improving an outdoor playhouse and building a wooden popcorn stand, benefiting the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) in Birmingham, Alabama. RMHC is an organization that provides food, shelter, and care for families who have children in nearby hospitals like the Children's of Alabama Hospital. Many families depend on the RMHC location for shelter, as the kids are sometimes staying in the hospital for long periods of time depending on the sickness. RMHC does a weekly movie night. My hand-built popcorn stand would be a great improvement from the plastic cart they use now. Also, the outdoor playhouse is all colored in, and I will be cleaning and repainting it. Additionally, the interior roofing of the playhouse is not completed, and there are nails sticking out from inside the ceiling. I will cover this and finish the interior roof. I hope to work on the project as soon as possible and finish by Summer 2025.

I would greatly appreciate your support and donation.
