About Ronald McDonald House Charities Atlantic

Few medical crises are more devastating or frightening than a child with a life-threatening disease or an unexpected injury or illness; and few situations place greater stress on parents and families. While tremendous advances have been made in treating seriously ill children, the families’ financial and emotional burdens remain. Ronald McDonald House Charities^® Atlantic was created to help ease some of these burdens.

Since May 1982, over 25,000 families have stayed with us when they had to travel to Halifax for medical treatment for their child. Families share in the cost of their stay by contributing a nominal fee of $11 per night for their entire family. However, their extensive medical expenses often preclude even this modest amount.

We depend upon charitable donations and volunteer support from many individuals, corporations and foundations for our continued existence. On behalf of our families, we are deeply grateful for this support.
