    FOR HELPING FAMILIES FIND STRENGTH IN NUMBERS.

With your help, more families will find strength in one another so their children can be strong enough to heal. Our e-newsletter delivers relevant content that will educate you, inspire you and show you that RMHC and our families wouldn’t be as strong without you.

    Volunteer

    Make a difference in the families who walk through our doors

    Volunteers make the difference in the lives of all the families that come through our doors – cooking, hosting, listening, nurturing, or by simply being there and helping out in any way they can. On behalf of the more than seven million children and their families we help every year, we say, ‘thanks’ and invite you to find your own volunteer opportunity.

    Contact your local Chapter to find out what opportunities are available near you.

    Your Small Change Can Make a Big Difference
    An even easier way for you to help support RMHC is to drop your spare change in the RMHC Donation Boxes at participating McDonald’s restaurants. Little by little, it adds up and can mean a lot.

      On December 19, 2012 my family noticed a lump on my neck. A couple days later, I was medevaced to St. John’s and diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma.  My dad and I found ourselves nearly 1,000 miles from our home in Goose Bay; 1,000 miles away from my mom, brother and sister; from my high school, favor...

      Togetherness

      It’s funny. We used to pass each other in the hallways at school all the time. We kind of knew each other, but weren’t exactly friends. Now, thanks to a special place called the Ronald McDonald House, we’re friends – very close friends.   Today, friendship means a lot more to us. While we both have ... Read More

Sitting up straight, her hands melt into the keyboard as sonatas, concertos, and waltzes start streaming through the... Read More

      An hour away from our home, in the unfamiliar hallways of Atlanta Children’s Hospital, we were told that our two-year old Tripp wouldn’t live. Our little boy with the biggest smile and magnetic personality had been playing outside at day care when a gust of wind knocked an 100-pound branch off a tre...
