 When a child becomes seriously ill, he or she might have to travel a long distance to
receive medical treatment. Sometimes, such treatment can last for weeks or months,
which means families must look for a place to stay in, so they can be near their sick child.
Without anyone there to offer support, the search can be difficult.
To help ease the burden on such families, Ronald McDonald House Charities
provide places for families to live in with their children who are in need of medical care.
Each House offers home-cooked meals, private bedrooms, and playrooms for children at
little or no extra cost. Currently, there are more than 360 Houses around the world, and
they’re all located near medical facilities*. By staying at a Ronald McDonald House,
parents can be near their children, and they won’t have to worry about cleaning or
cooking.
For a sick child, the love and support of his or her family is just as important as any
medicine a doctor can give him or her. By enabling parents to better care for their
children, Ronald McDonald House Charities give those children a fighting chance.
