Ronald McDonald House of Dallas

A special full-circle moment to end the week: In 2000, Dylan’s family stayed with Ronald McDonald House Charities of Tulsa, Inc. while he was being treated at a nearby hospital. 24 years later, Dylan returned to stay at the House, this time as a dad. His son Creed finished his treatment and their family is returning home! We are sending them the best wishes on the next part of their journey. 🎉💙

One of the most special things families find when they turn to RMHC for support is friendship!

Depending on a family's needs, they can be with us for just a couple of days or, in some cases, years. Being surrounded by other families and children experiencing similar situations forms bonds that can last a lifetime. Together, they can play, rest, and support each other when it matters most. 💙

Volunteering with RMHC can take many different forms! At Ronald McDonald Børnefond, volunteers support families by cooking, repairing bikes, knitting socks, and even making towel animals! Each of these acts of care provide physical and emotional support to families, allowing them to focus their energy on their child. Learn how you can get involved at rmhc.org/get-involved 💙✨

“We were so happy to be at the Ronald McDonald House. We were with other families we could exchange stories with and seek recognition from each other.”

When Sef was born prematurely at 28 weeks, his parents Irene and Marco, found the support and strength they needed at Ronald McDonald Kinderfonds. From a loving community of other families with similar experiences to warm meals each day, RMHC allowed them to be with Sef as much as possible during his treatment. 💙

🚂 All aboard for a heartwarming cause! 🚂

What a week! Over the last few days, RMHC colleagues from 58 countries joined us here in Chicago for the 2024 RMHC International Conference.

It was an incredible time filled with connection, discussion, and inspiration! From our 100 learning sessions to a private screening of Audrey's Children, a biopic of our co-founder, the late Dr. Audrey Evans, we had an unforgettable time together.

Thank you to the 1,700+ members of the RMHC Family that traveled far and wide to be with us. YOU are the heart of the work we do and the driving force of our mission to provide essential services that remove barriers, strengthen families, and promote healing when children need healthcare.

Our longtime partners, Dallas Children's Charities (DCC), made a special delivery today of a $2,500 grant check to support our HOUSE that LOVE built. In addition to grant funds, this upcoming holiday season, DCC will donate hundreds of toys through their annual Margarita Ball to be distributed to our December house guests.

Thank you Dallas Children's Charities for your compassionate and unyielding support of RMHD for well over a decade.

We are committed to addressing family needs along a child’s healthcare journey, and sometimes that means creating programs and services for the unique needs of families in their communities.

In the Netherlands, Ronald McDonald Kinderfonds offers three different “Holiday Houses” to families after a child’s long-term hospital stay. At these Houses, families stay for up to a week in an apartment with their own kitchen, bedrooms, and living areas - all specially equipped for their children’s needs. 🏡💙

Over the last seven years, Zainab and her family have traveled internationally to New York for medical treatments. As international patients, their biggest challenge and fear was finding accommodation. But since their first stay at Ronald McDonald House Charities New York Metro, they have found their second home where they have access to the care they need, a loving and supportive community, and a space to rest and recharge. 💙
