Life is a journey. Oftentimes, it doesn’t go exactly as planned, but taking it day by day with a little party in between is how one father from the Bronx is living life with his family at the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House.
Sitting down for a haircut is a blessing for Mateo Valentin.
“How long have you been at the house?” Richard Cornish asked Valentin.
“We’ve been living here five, six months now,” Valentin said.
This dad’s journey started at the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House many months ago, but it was a long road.
“My son just turned 19 months,” Valentin said, “and we’ve been to three hospitals in one year.”
Baby Jayven lives at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
“Normally, I get his hair all good. We take pictures in the morning on which side is good for him so we can show family and friends,” Valentin said, showing the CBS News Philadelphia crew a video of his son.
