When Jen and Travis Konrath learned their unborn son Mikey had a serious heart condition, their world stopped. As a newly stationed Air Force family in Colorado Springs, they faced uncertainty, fear, and long hospital stays far from home. Through surgeries, life support, and the wait for a new heart, the Ronald McDonald House of Denver became their refuge—providing meals, support, and a home away from home. Today, Mikey is thriving, a testament to hope, resilience, and the community that kept the Konraths together during their most challenging days.
