Ronald McDonald House helps Yuma locals

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - From working at a local McDonald’s almost 20 years ago to turning to the Ronald McDonald House as they had a micro-preemie in September 2023.

Johnny Acosta and Maria Bautista met as teenagers, working at a Yuma-area McDonalds and when they had their third son, baby Ozzie, they had to turn to the Ronald McDonald House as he was born at 25 weeks and was a one-pound micro-preemie. 

I was able to sit down and talk with them about their journey saying they are extremely thankful for the Ronald McDonald House Charities as they were able to have a place to stay as Maria recovered and baby Ozzie fought to survive.
