“I love the volunteers in the Ronald McDonald Family Room, they people put their washing on, show people where the food is and wrap up teddy bears. They talk to you if you need someone to talk to, and hold babies if they need to hold a baby while mum is busy with the toddler. They’re great. ”

“Being able to take a break and holiday together as a family at the Hamilton Family Retreat has helped our family to relax, re energise and connect as a family.”

“The John Hunter Family Room was a good place for her to share her experiences with Volunteers and other new mums.”

“It’s not just keeping up with work, but keeping up with your friends. The Learning Program gives you more time to focus on other aspects of schooling.”

“The whole family is enjoying the Family Room as a place for dad to come to after working in Newcastle daily and little Stella loves the toys and friendly atmosphere.”

“Being 2 hours from home, I was so relieved to be able to stay at Ronald McDonald House Tamworth, close to Kimberly.”

“Kingsley had such a ball at the Retreat. We saw dolphins, whales, and pelicans while playing in the park and even had a bath bomb in the giant spa in our bathroom, which he loved.”

“When the opportunity came for a short escape to the Ronald McDonald Family Retreat in Bunbury, WA, it represented so much more than a weekend away.”

“Ronald McDonald is a place where you receive support from staff, volunteers and other families who are going through similar experiences.”

“Because of the Ronald McDonald Family Room, for a tiny minute you get to stop and rest. You walk in and it’s like a home and you can breathe.”
