Devolving the civil society

Ronald McDonald House Near Lurie Children’s Hospital Was Among Looters’ Targets

CHICAGO (CBS) — The Ronald McDonald House in Streeterville was among the establishments targeted during looting in Chicago early Monday morning.

For a while, residents were placed on lockdown while the commotion was happening right outside.

“We’re here for families at all times – whether there’s a pandemic or civil unrest, we need to make sure that we are here allowing families to get the rest they need while they have a child in the hospital seeking care, and so it’s so important that anything that might be going on outside, we maintain our care for families,” said Lisa Mitchell of Ronald McDonald House.

No appointments or treatments were missed because of the incident.
