The Ronald McDonald House Charities help out children and families nationwide. These Ronald McDonald houses are "a home away from a home" to many people since 1974. This organization help children where they need it the most.
These houses are put near hospitals so families that have sick children that are hospitalized can stay near them closely and have them near. This is better than the family sleeping in hospitals for many days or going to a hotel/motel miles away from the hospital where a families child is left.
Children can have the support of their family near by and not feel like they are too far away. Especially if the child who is ill is a toddler and wants their parents around this is a good way to keep them near.
There are now 305 Ronald McDonald houses in 52 countries and regions.
Many families such as Rachel( mother) and Julia( daughter) had a dilemma where they used the Ronald McDonald housing and it was very inspirational to them. According to the "family stories" on the Ronald McDonald Charity website, Julia had to get tested at a hospital for a half hour for four days straight. This was tiring for Julia because of her illness and found the Ronald McDonald housing a stress reliever. They had internet and games for her to play and to be occupied and it was near the hospital for convenience.
This charity helps many children and families world wide. It is a stress reliever and convenient for all families with sick children and family members.

To donate to this charity there are slots and funds at any McDonald's fast food restaurant where you can donate money to housing for families in need.
When people donate to this organizations families are even saving money for hotel rooms,food, and more while they are away from their home.
Every cent counts toward a better and convenient life and time for the ill children who do not have what they need to get better .
If you have a chance to save a child's life and help out families in need...why not help out?
I liked this blog! I didn't know all this information on the Ronald Mcdonald houses. When you told me yeah I did my blog on Ronald Mcdonald I felt hesitant as to if I wanted to read it. BUT I did read it and it was very informative and quite interesting. I think these houses are good because they are convenient for families who want to stay close to their sick ones. Especially when there are certain hours where you are not allowed to visit this is a way for people to stay close by.
