Our Impact
Children whose families stay at The Ronald McDonald House tend to be very sick, they have travelled the furthest distances for care and spend the longest time in the hospital. Our House allows families to access the best medical care for their child in Children’s Health Ireland at Crumlin, and being nearby helps children heal and cope better together.
We proudly provide over 11,000 meals a year to our families and collectively save them approximately €700,000 annually. Since opening 20 years ago we have cared for over 5,000 families from across the country.
Research shows the Ronald McDonald House :
Supports a family’s psychological well-being by keeping them close together and providing emotional and physical comfort and support.
Helps alleviate the financial stress of accommodation needs.
Allows children to express their emotions and feel a sense of normalcy in the face of stress and medical trauma through play spaces at the Ronald McDonald House.
Helps families to better copy and enables them to better focus on the needs of their sick child when they have support from family members and other families.
Results in better sleep quality for parents which gives them the rest they need to make critical decisions related to their child’s care.
