Families stay with us for one or two nights or many months. The average length of stay for a family is seven nights. By donating $1,000, you can cover the cost of accommodation for a family for a week.
Jacinda Panther and her family stayed at Ronald McDonald House South Island for a total of 120 nights – first when daughter Maisie was born and again seventeen months later before the birth of son Louis.
“I remember that first time walking in and bursting into tears. I really wasn’t expecting it to truly be a ‘home-away-from-home’. You walk in the door and it is like home.”
“You hear people tell you ‘they do this, and they do that’ but you have absolutely no concept about what it actually means until you’re staying there yourself.”
Father’s Day might look a little different this year but we hope all the wonderful Dads out there had a great day!
Our team at Ronald McDonald House in Christchurch put together some treats for the Dads who are staying at the House or off-site until we are able to expand our House bubble.
