A heartfelt THANK YOU to our friends at Wasco State Prison for their incredible generosity and continued support of Ronald McDonald House Bakersfield!❤️

Together, they raised more than $7,500 to support families navigating a child’s medical journey.

Generosity like this, from Wasco State Prison and so many across our community, helps give families a place to rest, recharge, and be together after long days at the hospital, just steps from their child’s medical care.

Thank you, Wasco State Prison, for being part of the community that surrounds our families with care when they need it most. ❤️🏠

🐾❤️ **A Special Thank You to Dave & Daisy!** ❤️🐾

A heartfelt thank you to Dave and his sweet therapy dog, Daisy, for spending time with the families at the Bakersfield Ronald McDonald House! 🐶💕

Dave has been a long-time supporter of our House and his continued kindness and dedication to our families means more than we can say. Daisy’s visit brought smiles, comfort, and a little extra joy to families who are going through an incredibly difficult time.

Sometimes, a little unconditional love and a wagging tail are exactly what a family needs. 🐾❤️

**Thank you, Dave, for continuing to show up for our families and for being such an important part of our House family. We are so grateful for you and Daisy, and we look forward to many more visits!**

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.

❤️ Celebrating a Special Milestone at the Bakersfield Ronald McDonald House! ❤️

Today we had the joy of celebrating the 1st anniversary of one of our wonderful families currently staying with us! 🎉🥂 We couldn’t let such a special day go by without throwing them a little celebration and making them feel extra loved.

At the Bakersfield Ronald McDonald House, our families are so much more than guests — they become part of our RMH family. 🏡❤️ We take great pride in creating a home away from home where families feel cared for, supported, and surrounded by love during some of life’s most difficult moments.

Sometimes it’s the little things, a home cooked meal, a listening ear, a celebration, or simply being there that can mean the most.

Happy 1st Anniversary to this beautiful couple! 💕 We are honored to celebrate this special milestone with you and grateful to have you as part of our Bakersfield House family.

We’ve heard the concerns and questions about whether the Bakersfield Ronald McDonald House is closed, and we want to set the record straight:

We are OPEN. We are here. And we are continuing to serve families.

We understand that misinformation can create unnecessary concern, especially for families who rely on the House during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. Please know that our mission remains strong, our doors remain open, and our team continues to show up every day for the families who need us.

We are incredibly grateful to our community for caring so deeply about the Bakersfield Ronald McDonald House and the families we serve.

The Bakersfield Ronald McDonald House is here—and we aren’t going anywhere. ❤️

NICU stories are filled with uncertainty, fear, and moments no parent should ever have to face. But sometimes, those stories also show us just how strong a family can be. ❤️

Hvitzerk spent 70 days in the NICU. During that time, his momma also was hospitalized, leaving Dad trying to be there for both his baby and the woman he loves. And through it all, Grandma stepped up in an incredible way, becoming a source of strength and support for the entire family.

There were long days, hard nights, overwhelming moments, and probably more emotions than words could ever explain. But they kept showing up. They kept loving. They kept hoping.

And today, we get to share the part of their story that makes our hearts so happy…

Hvitzerk is thriving!

This is why we do what we do at the Bakersfield Ronald McDonald House. Because families shouldn’t have to navigate the hardest moments of their lives alone. Sometimes support looks like a place to sleep, a warm meal, a listening ear, or simply knowing that someone is standing beside you when everything feels impossible.

We are so grateful to have been a small part of H’s story and even more grateful to see this little fighter thriving.

**70 days in the NICU. A family that never stopped showing up. And a beautiful reminder that there is hope on the other side.** ❤️

💚 September is NICU Awareness Month 💚

Not every NICU story goes the way we hope. Some journeys end with a homecoming, while others leave a lasting mark on our hearts.

But at the Bakersfield Ronald McDonald House, we believe every little hero matters. No matter how their story unfolds, we are here to support their families through the hardest moments, providing a place to rest, breathe, grieve, and feel surrounded by love.

We are incredibly thankful for the compassionate staff at Hoffmann Hospice and for our own small but mighty team at the Bakersfield Ronald McDonald House who walk alongside families during these incredibly difficult times.

Because our mission isn’t just about providing a place to stay. It’s about being there when families need us most. ❤️

This NICU Awareness Month, we honor every tiny fighter, every family, and every person who helps carry them through… no matter how long they are here with us.

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!

Summer days call for a sweet treat! 🍦

When a child is receiving medical care, moments like sharing an ice cream, enjoying a summer activity, or simply spending time together can mean so much.

At Ronald McDonald House, families can hold onto these moments, all while staying close to the care their child needs.

“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.
