Ronald McDonald House Atlanta

“There are moments in life that forever change your family, and for ours, the Ronald McDonald House has become more than just a place to stay—it has become a place of comfort, hope, and kindness during some of our hardest days.”

These are the words of Krystal, grandmother to Kamden who has Cystic Fibrosis. Kamden’s baby brother, Kove, has also faced health challenges after being born at just 33 weeks. These circumstances led to Kamden’s family needing to stay at Ronald McDonald House Atlanta.

While staying with us, Kamden was going to be turning 3. So, we partnered with Zoo Atlanta to give Kamden a special birthday celebration he wouldn’t forget. 🐅❤️

“For a few precious hours, hospital rooms, medical equipment, and uncertainty were replaced with laughter, animals, adventure, and pure childhood joy. He explored the zoo with the biggest smile on his face and even got to go zip-lining—something he still talks about with excitement. Watching him simply be a happy little boy was a gift our entire family desperately needed,” says Krystal.

“When families are living in survival mode, it’s easy to forget what normal feels like. The Ronald McDonald House reminded us that even in the middle of fear and uncertainty, there is still room for joy, compassion, and unforgettable memories.”

"This was my daughter’s second time staying at Ronald McDonald House Atlanta. She had a cranial surgery and has had to have two heart procedures so far.

Ronald McDonald House Atlanta has helped my family tremendously when we have to drive 4 hours to Atlanta. We are able to stay close while she is in the hospital. They have treated us so well and taken the burden away of finding hotels and places to eat.

Thank you so much for treating us like family!"

Life for the Ormes family changed on a dime like so many lives of families facing childhood cancer does. They were suddenly thrown into a whirlwind of emotional strain, urgent decisions, and sudden life changes that creates an overwhelming weight.

On top of all of this they shouldn't have to worry about what meals they'll eat, where they'll stay, or if they can be by their child's side as they undergo treatment. Your donation gives the necessities to families with ill or injured children so that they can focus on being there for their child. 💛

As Childhood Cancer Awareness Month comes to a close be the reason a family can stay together by donating: https://ronaldmcdonaldhouseatl.donorsupport.co/-/XJASKBJJ

As we recognize this September, we're thinking of the NICU families supported by Ronald McDonald House programs around the world ❤️

Families like baby Grayson's.

Grayson was born early at 33 weeks and needed immediate surgery and specialized care. For nearly a month while Grayson was in the NICU, his parents, Paige and Jordan, stayed just steps away at Ronald McDonald House Louisville

"Being at Ronald McDonald House allowed us to be with Grayson in the NICU as much as possible," Paige says. "It was the biggest blessing to us on our journey."

“The facility allowed us to stay focused on our son’s needs while still giving him the chance to enjoy being a child.” - The McHugh Vasquez Family

Jeremy, Jessica, and their three children stayed at Ronald McDonald House Atlanta for over 60 nights while their son participated in a feeding therapy program nearby.

When families can stay close, they can focus on what matters most: caring for and supporting one another throughout their child’s medical journey.

When you're navigating your child's medical journey, everyday activities like getting a haircut can fall to the bottom of the priority list.

At Ronald McDonald House Tampa Bay, Inc., Olivia and her team helped families get back-to-school ready with fresh haircuts. We're grateful to community members like Olivia who give back in meaningful ways, helping families feel supported and experience moments of normalcy during challenging times.

Once a Ronald McDonald House Family, always a Ronald McDonald House Family. ❤️

While Harlow and Hadley were in the NICU, the Rardon family found comfort and support at Ronald McDonald House Charities of Mid-Missouri. Now, the twins have made it a tradition to give back by volunteering at the House each year, even spending part of their birthday this year packing lunches and preparing a meal for families staying at the House.

Thank you, Harlow and Hadley!

“It is not just the House that provided us with a sense of home – it was the people,” says Shawna.

When the Roy family’s daughter, Carly, was in the NICU, her family stayed at Ronald McDonald House South Central Ontario, surrounded by a community of support while their daughter was receiving medical treatment.

For families like the Roys, Ronald McDonald House becomes more than a place to stay. It's a place of comfort and connection and a reminder that they’re not alone.
