Back in 1985, the Wyatts of Grinnell, Iowa, had twins. But after the twins were born, both babies were transferred to a neonatal intensive care unit in Des Moines.

It was a scary time because the babies needed special care -- and the family had to travel from Grinnell to Des Moines every day ... until the Ronald McDonald House of Des Moines opened its doors.

The family was able to stay at the Ronald McDonald House until the babies were big and healthy enough to go home.

The Wyatt family hasn't forgotten about the blessing of the Ronald McDonald House those decades ago -- and are now donating a giant collection of Barbie dolls to the Ronald McDonald House for a charity auction.

A large collection of 475 Barbies -- along with 95 Hallmark ornaments -- will be auctioned off, with the money going to help the Ronald McDonald House.

Collectible toy experts say the auction will raise enough money to help thousands of families traveling to Des Moines for medical care.
