"Words cannot express the way I feel about Ronald McDonald
House. Its loving, caring managers and volunteers make it that much easier …
Every time we walk through the front door, it feels like coming home."
Jean Hyland (Brisbane) whose son, Steven, was diagnosed with a life
threatening disorder
The cornerstone of RMHC's work, Ronald McDonald Houses are attached to major
women or children’s hospitals and provide a 'home-away-from-home' for
seriously ill children and their families.
They provide a ‘home-away-from-home’ for families of children with serious
illness, along with the support of experienced House Managers, volunteers
and other families in a similar situation.
Each house is administered by an independent board (made up of McDonald’s,
hospital and community representatives) that appoints staff and organises
the big-hearted volunteers who manage the day-to-day operations. Capital
funding is provided by RMHC, but each house is responsible for its own daily
running costs – Ronald McDonald House Charities
rely heavily on support from their
communities, so please give generously.
