Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Inland Northwest

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. 🎉💙

Through our 1,000+ RMHC programs around the world, we strive to meet the unique needs of families all along their children’s healthcare journey, addressing the importance of proximity, involvement, education and partnership in meeting those needs. 💙🌍

The RMHC mission goes far beyond giving families a place to stay when their child needs healthcare. Our work aims to provide families with access to care, surround them with a supportive community, and meet their physical and emotional needs.

To learn more about our impact, visit rmhc.org 💙

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. 💙

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.

As we continue to celebrate our milestone anniversary this year, let us remember: we are 50 years young, and our work has just begun!

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. 💙

✨🏡 The Downing-Haag family is going home after 9 nights with baby boy Rixsen!🌟 Believe it or not, this isn't their first RMHC journey! In 2020, they spent 57 cozy nights with us, after welcoming big sister Trevyn into the world a little early.

Every day we find inspiration in the strength of our families! As we reflect on our own journey, we embrace our vision: a world where every family has what they need to ensure the best health outcomes for their children.💖

For many families that turn to RMHC for support, their children require prolonged and often complex medical treatment. That's why some Ronald McDonald House programs have schools and learning centers for children receiving treatment and their siblings. 💙📚

The schools at Ronald McDonald House Charities Toronto, Ronald McDonald House Charities, Upper Midwest, and Ronald McDonald House Charities Bay Area serve students from kindergarten through high school, offering classes in reading, math, science, art, PE, and more! Taught by certified teachers, the children at these schools are surrounded by a supportive, caring community as they continue their education away from home. 🥰
