On August 24, President Donald Trump and wife Melania spent time at the Nationwide Children’s Hospital and wanted to learn more about the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio, a nonprofit which centers around support programs that directly improve the health and well-being of children.

The visit falls in line with a shared philosophy with John Kasich about understanding what the needs of constituents are and why, to see on ground level what is going on, and by doing this creating a better understanding of their needs and how to help the nation grow.

His mother Amanda Zari went about assembling hospital and presidential staff in the hope of making Ashton’s wish come true.
