Your donation helps families stay together, when their child needs them most.

When a child is ill or injured, it affects the entire family. Everyday life is disrupted, especially when the best medical treatment is far from home. Your support helps families stay together, strong, connected and close by, at the heart of the care they need.

Support families with ill or injured children across South East Queensland

More than a place to stay, Ronald McDonald House South East Queensland surrounds families with a community of support, care and the resources they need. From a comfortable place to sleep, rest and play, to spaces for working, learning, doing laundry and sharing home-cooked meals, families have what they need to get through each day

Real Impact:
The Mudge Family

In May 2024, as the Mudge family prepared to welcome their third child, their lives shifted dramatically.. Their eldest daughter Ellie, just four years old, woke in pain, and tests revealed a tumour. Waiting anxiously for answers, baby Elkie was born. Four days later, they received the call that Ellie was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma – a rare and aggressive tumour based cancer. 

Throughout surgeries, chemotherapy and 23 rounds of radiation without general anaesthetic, Ellie’s strength has never wavered. She has taken every impossible step and made it her own. 

To this day, Ronald McDonald House South East Queensland continues to be a safe haven - providing accommodation, meals, but most importantly each other. Having the entire family stay together during one of the hardest moments of their life, is something they’ll always be grateful for. 

The Mudge family is one of thousands we help each year. Your generosity helps more families stay at the heart of their child’s care.
