"Ronald McDonald House puts the families of sick children above all else. We were overwhelmed by the love and support from the volunteers, staff, and other families staying at the House. During the biggest challenge of our lives, RMHC provided us with a "home away from home" so that we could be close to our son."
James Walsh
Father to Dylan (NICU graduate after 3 weeks)
"I practically lived at the Ronald McDonald Family Room at Stony Brook Children's.
The volunteers walk around in the morning with the Hospitality Cart, delivering snacks, drinks, and goodies. In the evening, there were meals for us, donated from local restaurants. I knew that this was a special place whether you lived close by to the hospital or far."
Debbie Waller
Mother to Hannah (pediatric cancer survivor)
"I'm excited about my baby brother coming home, and playing with him. He's amazing and the best baby brother ever."
Canyon Chase, 5 years old
Big brother to Oslo (NICU graduate after 38 days)
"Ronald McDonald House has been absolutely fantastic for Grace and for our family as we come here annually for intensive physical therapy. It was instrumental in her learning to walk. It gave us a place to come back to every day and recoup."
