“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.

Thanks to our founding and forever mission partner, McDonald's, and their partnership with FIFA World Cup, Ronald McDonald House families experienced the FIFA World Cup™ in unforgettable ways.

The FIFA World Cup™ has a unique way of bringing people together across countries, cultures and communities, and every day, Ronald McDonald House does the same.

Families travel from across their cities, states and even countries to access the medical care their children need. Along the way, when staying with Ronald McDonald House, they find comfort, connection and a community that reminds them they aren't alone. This summer, 25 families from across the United States, Canada and Mexico came together to experience the excitement of the world's game.

From cheering alongside thousands of fans and stepping onto the pitch to meeting FIFA mascots and creating once-in-a-lifetime memories together, these moments were about so much more than the game.

For families who spend so much of their time focused on hospital stays, treatments and medical appointments, this was an opportunity to simply be together to celebrate, make memories and experience the joy of the world's game.

Thank you to McDonald's and FIFA for making these once-in-a-lifetime experiences possible for Ronald McDonald House families!

This summer, thanks to our founding and forever mission partner, McDonald's, and their partnership with FIFA World Cup, Ronald McDonald House families are experiencing unforgettable FIFA World Cup™ moments across North America. For the McBride and Reeves families, it was another chapter in a friendship that began nearly 10 years ago inside Ronald McDonald House Kansas City.

While staying at the House as their children received medical care, the two families found comfort, understanding and support in one another. What began during a season of uncertainty grew into a lifelong friendship that has continued long after they returned home.

This weekend, they created another special memory together at FIFA World Cup™ Kansas City Stadium – a full-circle moment that reflected the power of the Ronald McDonald House community.

At Ronald McDonald House, families often arrive as strangers, but many leave with a community that stays with them for years to come. It's a powerful reminder that while our Houses provide comfort and care close to the medical care families need, they also create space for connections that can last a lifetime.

Thank you to McDonald's and FIFA for making this unforgettable experience possible and for helping create memories these families will cherish forever.

The heart of any house is the kitchen, and at Ronald McDonald House, it’s no different.

It’s where families find connection and support with others over a meal, a snack, or a quiet conversation, all while staying close to one another and their child’s care.
