Life can feel heavy, especially when your child is facing a medical emergency, and finding support during such a difficult time isn’t always easy. That’s why Ronald McDonald House Mountain West offers families of pediatric patients more than just a place to stay.

A home away from home means a place to breathe, rest, and know you’re not alone. It means caring for the whole family, heart and mind.

On World Mental Health Day, and every day, we’re here for the families who need us most.

Cami Checketts’ son, Pizza, spent seventeen days in the PICU and NTU at Primary Children’s Hospital after an auto accident left him with a shattered skull and a traumatic brain injury.

During this time, the Ronald McDonald House Family Room became Cami’s second home. It was a place where she could shower, sleep, do laundry, eat a meal, find support from staff and volunteers, and step outside to feel the sunshine on the patio.

Cami, a USA Today bestselling Christian romantic suspense author, wanted to give back to the space that had helped carry her family through such a difficult experience. She ran a special promotion among her readers and fans, with proceeds benefiting the Ronald McDonald House Family Room.

Thanks to the generosity of her supportive fans, Cami was able to raise $2,200!

We are so grateful for Cami and for her amazing community of readers and supporters who helped make this gift possible. ❤️

Thank you, Cami, for turning your own difficult experience into an opportunity to give back to other families who may find themselves walking a similar journey. And thank you to everyone who supported her promotion and helped make a difference for families.

We are honored to be a part of your family’s story, Cami. ❤️

The WELLS group served a fun Halloween-themed dinner recently, and even wore RMH socks! 🧦🎃

Thank you so much for serving up such a delicious and spooky meal to the guest families we support at the Lehi Ronald McDonald House Family Room.

Caring for a sick or injured child is all-consuming. When a meal is taken care of, a parent gets back something precious: time, energy, and the quiet reassurance that they don't have to do this alone.

"When I signed our family up to provide dinner at the Ronald McDonald House Family Room, it checked all the right boxes: close enough for a weeknight, manageable with children and centered around food, which is my love language. But on the seventh or eighth visit, when our paths crossed with [a patient named] Sara’s, I felt something shift and realized the magic of serving is rarely in the first visit, or even the second. It happens after we keep going back..."

—Our beloved friend Kristin Andrus talks about "sticky service" in the Deseret News.

The Utah philanthropist explains her long-game strategy to find meaningful giving.

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.
