Ronald McDonald House global family support

Overview

Ronald McDonald House continues to provide lodging and support services to families of critically ill children across various global regions.

In the United States, the Tulsa chapter received a $10,000 grant from BOK Financial through its ‘Guide the Giving’ campaign. This donation follows a family’s 61-day stay in a neonatal intensive care unit, during which the organization provided free housing and meals to keep the family near the hospital.

In Australia, fundraising efforts such as the ‘Ride for Sick Kids Community Ride’ are underway to support the Northern New South Wales chapter. Meanwhile, in the United Kingdom, the Birmingham facility provided 46 days of accommodation for a family managing a child’s Stage 4 Burkitt lymphoma diagnosis.
