JOPLIN -- Gaylen and Angie Eads of Anderson, MO spent 29 days at the Ronald McDonald House in Joplin when their daughter Natalie was born. Earlier this year, Natalie said she wanted to celebrate her birthday by donating toys and games to the organization. Tragically, Natalie passed away in April due to complications from a heart and lung transplant. However, the family kept their promise. Sunday would have marked their daughter's 13th birthday. To celebrate, the family dropped off hundreds of dollars in gifts for families who are going through tough times. The family also presented workers at the Ronald McDonald House with a donation of more than $900, which was raised through the sale of candles, bracelets and t-shirts.
