Mission Statement
Our Houses and Family Room provide a welcoming home-away-from-home environment for families of seriously ill or injured children receiving medical care.
About This Cause
Ronald McDonald House Charities Southwestern Ontario is a growing chapter that continues to expand its services in order to help more families with seriously ill children. The three core programs - RMH London, RMH Windsor and the Ronald McDonald Family Room - each keep families close to their seriously ill child's medical care when it matters most. Ronald McDonald House London is a place where out-of-town families with seriously ill children can stay for as long as they need –only 165 steps from Children's Hospital, London Health Sciences Centre. By providing things like a private room and bath, homemade dinners, laundry facilities, and all the other comforts of home for just $12 a night, we are able to help bring a bit of "normal" to 40 families each night while lifting some of the financial burdens weighing on parents. Our Ronald McDonald Family Room London ® in Children's Hospital, LHSC opened in 2012. The space gives any caregivers with a child in Children’s Hospital a place to relax, catch a nap, or have a shower just down the hall from their child’s hospital room. We are dedicated to helping take care of all the little things so families can focus on the most important thing…their seriously ill child. 2016 welcomed the newest member of the RMHC family - Canada's first Ronald McDonald House-within-a-Hospital ®, Ronald McDonald House Windsor inside the Met Campus, Windsor Regional Hospital. This home-away-from-home continues our mission and keeps families close to their seriously ill or injured child receiving care in WRH. In order to provide this support to families with seriously ill children, Ronald McDonald House Charities Southwestern Ontario is dependent on public donations and fundraising; funding is not received from any agency or government body. We are very thankful to receive generous donations from individuals within the community, current and former House families, and a number of corporate entities which help ensure our House is able to continue helping families when they need it most.
