Make Magical Moments for families with ill or injured children. ✨
Often, when faced with a child's illness, life stops overnight, and parents enter a world of fear, and worry.
When you make a gift to the Ronald McDonald House of Fort Worth, you can help relieve worried families of some of their burdens by sharing the cost of their stay at the House.
Join us in making magical moments for families staying at RMHFW and donate today!
For families of critically ill children, the Ronald McDonald House of Fort Worth (RMHFW) is a place to stay, grab a hot meal prepared by volunteers, and catch a few hours of sleep after an all-night bedside vigil. It's a place for refuge and solace with comfortable beds, private bathrooms, laundry and dining facilities, well-equipped game rooms, and outside play areas. RMHFW provides a "home-away-from-home" for families. It allows parents and siblings to stay together while remaining close to a child receiving life-saving medical care in area hospitals. Most of all, RMHFW is where families can find comfort and compassion from volunteers, staff, and other families faced with similar challenges.
We ask families to contribute just $20 per night's stay - a fraction of the actual $174 per night. Many families that stay at RMHFW are financially devastated and cannot contribute toward their stay. Thanks to generous donors, no family is ever turned away due to their inability to contribute.
The following RMHFW core programs keep families near each other and the care they need:
- Ronald McDonald House - A 57-bedroom House on 8th Avenue in Fort Worth, is a “home-away-from-home” for families with ill children at the hospital or needing to be near their medical care.
- Ronald McDonald Family Room - A friendly place for families to rest and refresh at Cook Children's Medical Center.
- Day Program - A restful place away from the hospital for families not staying at the House.
- Hospitality Carts - Located inside Cook Children's Medical Center and Baylor Scott & White All Saints, the RMHFW Hospitality Carts offer complimentary items to visitors.
Make Magical Moments! We invite you to create a world of imagination and hope for families staying at Ronald McDonald House of Fort Worth and donate today to help families facing childhood illness!
