A Ronald McDonald House is a home-away-from-home for families with seriously ill or injured children who are receiving treatment at nearby hospitals. These houses provide free or low-cost accommodation and a supportive environment, complete with communal kitchens, lounges, and play areas, which helps families stay close to their child and reduce the financial and emotional strain of hospital stays. Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) also operates other programs like Family Rooms in hospitals and a Ronald McDonald Learning Program to support these families.
What Ronald McDonald Houses offer
Accommodation: Private rooms or units for families to stay in, often with ensuite facilities.
Communal facilities: Shared kitchens, dining rooms, lounges, laundry, and play areas.
Support: A supportive environment with staff, volunteers, and other families who are in similar situations.
Financial relief: Free accommodation to help alleviate the financial burden of being away from home.
Other RMHC programs
Family Rooms: Welcoming spaces located inside hospitals where families can relax, make a cup of tea, or take a shower.
Learning Program: Helps children who are staying at the house catch up on missed schoolwork.
Other support: Some locations offer programs like Day Passes, which allow families to rest for the day, and Hospitality Carts, which provide snacks and comfort items to families in hospital.
