When families have been living through illness or loss, exhaustion runs deep. Days blur together, emotions are heavy, and time together is often shaped by hospitals and appointments. Our Ronald McDonald House Family Retreat in Forster gives families space to breathe again.
Away from clinical settings, families can rest, reconnect, and spend special time together simply being a family. In moments when togetherness matters most, these stays help families feel normal again.
Our Ronald McDonald Family Retreat in Forster offers a welcomed sanctuary for families with sick or injured kids to reconnect, relax and enjoy time together – an experience most of us often take for granted.
A family that has a child with a medical condition or illness that requires or has required ongoing medical treatment may be eligible. Eligible families can enjoy up to one week of free accommodation at the Family Retreat.
It’s an opportunity for the whole family to enjoy time together in each other’s company, an important part of the healing process as well as family-centred care.
We also can offer a stay to families who are grieving a recent loss of a child. For more information please contact us.
