WELCOME TO RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE CHARITIES

THE HOUSE THAT LOVE BUILT

Like most iconic success stories, Ronald McDonald House began as a little idea that simply refused to stop growing.

Imagine having to spend every night for months camped out in your child’s hospital room, eating food from vending machines and all the while trying to stay positive and happy for the sake of your seriously ill youngster.

That was the case for American football hero Fred Hill, in 1974, when his three-year-old daughter Kim was diagnosed with leukaemia.
