What should have been a time filled with nothing but joy for the couple became a mix of emotions as their twin girls Isabella May and Scarlett Hope were born at Monash Hospital at just 24 weeks old.
The twins are progressing well but it won’t be until January that their proud parents get to bring them home.
In the meantime, they have a place to stay at Ronald McDonald House.
Tomorrow, the charity hopes to raise $3.4 million through its annual McHappy Day, held at McDonald’s outlets across the country.
The fund-raising target would equate to one night’s accommodation at a Ronald McDonald House for 25,000 families.
The Lowes are just one of thousands of families who have had a difficult time made easier by the charity.
In their two months at Ronald McDonald House, they have meet others from Wodonga, Yarrawonga and Bright.
The fast-food chain McDonald’s has its critics, on a range of subjects. But the value of this particular charity day can’t be questioned — it has raised $20 million over 23 years.
And you don’t have to eat there, just make a donation.
