Your Impact By The Month
Each month over 25 families walk through our doors and each one requires unique care. By walking along side them as a monthly donor, you are making sure their needs are met so they can be fully present for their sick child. We can’t do this without you.
“You never know when a medical situation could impact you or someone in your family. All the medical stuff can be so difficult to deal with. It’s really nice to have a place to go that provides comfort and relief from the hospital atmosphere. It’s great to have a place where you can relate to other families going through something similar. That’s what RMHC offers.”
“There truly are no words for the gratitude that our family has for the hospitality given by the Ronald McDonald House. What a blessing it has been to be able to stay somewhere with family during the scariest time of our lives! What I initially believed would be a week turned into 6 weeks and I could not have done it without you all. Thank you!”
