“home-away-from-home”

What I Wish I Knew

Words of wisdom from a RMHC veteran parent

St. Louis’ three Ronald McDonald Houses serve as a “home-away-from- home” for families with seriously ill children being treated at area hospitals, and provides support to organizations that serve the needs of children.

“Everything was perfect, from cleanliness, nightly meals,
community areas, convenience, etc. Having another small child that we needed to keep away from the hospital as much as possible, we couldn’t have made it work without The Ronald McDonald House! Thank you so much!”

~ Jason and Crystal Fisher

Located near St. Louis Children’s Hospital and Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital, the Houses offer parents and family members a respite from hospital waiting rooms 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The Houses are designed to bring the comforts of home to families far away from their own homes with a comfortable bed, a warm meal, kitchen and laundry facilities, and toys for the kids.

Additionally, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Metro St. Louis helps organizations that serve the needs of children in the greater
St. Louis area by providing grants
to these organizations.
