What you can do

Help us help even more families in need

When a child is diagnosed with a serious illness, it can have a devastating impact on families. As well as the uncertainty and fear, there’s added stress for families who don’t live close to the medical care their child needs.

Without your support, we would be unable to keep our doors open to families in need 365 days a year. Thanks to the generosity of our communities, we’ve been able to continually expand our operations to help more families.

Families like Emily’s who was diagnosed with T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia when she was 6 years old.  Her family were able to stay together at Ronald McDonald House so she could receive life saving treatment far from home.

“We had no idea how long we would be away from home, but with Emily so sick, we just couldn’t leave. It’s now been 419 days. I can’t imagine being separated from Nathan and the girls for that long,” said Suzie.

There are many ways you can make a difference.

Whether it be joining our team of volunteers, hosting a fundraising event, becoming a valued partner or making a donation – there are many ways you can make a difference in the lives of sick kids, just like Emily, and their families.
