I agree with the majority of this group. I would want to know what happened and why. I hope you find out something soon.

Ronald McDonald house may have sold the quilts and used the money for the kids. Your quilts may not have landed in the children's hands, but it is possible that the money made from the quilts helped Ronald McDonald house to continue to operate.
I don't know if you and they made it clear that the quilts were for the children that were sick. If that is the case, then I would talk to corporate RMD and ask them to find out what happened. |
Sooo Any update!?

EQ had discussed with the director which quilts should go to which kinds of children. Obviously a mistake was made by an employee while the director was on vacation, but the director never took action to clarify to the donor what actually happened.
Several people have mentioned that money from the sale of the quilts could have gone to the RMD house and that this is a good thing. Well, yes, but a good portion of the money used to run RMD goes to salaries -- including the salaries of the director and employee responsible for this misunderstanding (or mistake, or whatever). The director is not volunteering her time to run this non-profit. However, EQ *did* donate her time and materials when making the quilts for sick kids. Like EQ, if I had known the quilts were to be sold I would have preferred to make a cash donation to the charity. |
