Story

Our House is a home away from home for many families who walk through our doors each year. We aim to keep the entire family together throughout their children’s medical journey so that they can face the weight of their children’s illness together- families are stronger when they are together. This principle remains at the heart of everything we do.

Along with accommodation, Ronald McDonald House Wellington provides a wider support programme which alleviates the emotional, practical and financial burdens that accompany our families during what can be a highly stressful time

"RMHC® New Zealand supports families when their child is in a New Zealand hospital away from home. RMHC New Zealand takes care of the practical things in life so families can focus on their child staying in a hospital away from home.Every year we offer 3,700 families across New Zealand accommodation and support free of charge. This helps to relieve stresses like paying for a place to sleep near the hospital, cooking family meals and needing a friendly ear to listen on tough days."
