Ronald McDonald House of Dallas Capital Campaign

BE THE KEY TO THE DOOR TO LOVE

Ronald McDonald House of Dallas (RMHD) is the only resource in the Dallas area providing families a home and a community as they face the illness or injury of their child. RMHD provides three meals a day; shuttle service to and from nearby hospitals; and offers activities and services to give families a home-away-from-home. Families are able to share their experiences with other families in the House, our wonderful volunteers, and our House dog, Shiloh, the Chief Cheer Officer. Our holistic approach results in families who are physically and emotionally close, which according to a Ronald McDonald Charities Global study, is a difference maker in reducing stress and enhancing well-being. The research also shows that children heal better and faster when their parents and siblings are nearby. In addition to the emotional support, families who stay at RMHD get substantial financial relief. From an economic standpoint, the out-of-pocket savings for an average stay of two weeks is over $2,000 per family. Recently, RMHD has had to deny over 1,000 family stays per year due to being at full capacity.
