HOME AWAY FROM HOME

We all know the support of your family is truly the best medicine, yet many families travel far from home to receive treatment for their ill or injured children. Now operating in over 42 countries, Ronald McDonald House Charities Australia has become a home away from home for people the world over so they can stay close to their little loved ones. The Houses are built around the idea that nothing else should be on the minds of stressed parents but the health of their child – such as where to stay or where their next meal is coming from. Since opening in 1981, Australia’s 16 Ronald McDonald Houses and 15 family rooms have provided a welcoming haven to more than 68,000 families. www.rmhc.org.au/donate
