When 5-year-old Rene was hospitalized in San Antonio for surgery to remove a tumor in her brain, the last thing her family from Victoria wanted to deal with was finding and paying for living accommodations, meals, and someplace to do laundry.

Thanks to Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Antonio, they didn’t have to.
Rene’s parents and grandparents stayed at the Ronald McDonald House for 13 days while Rene recovered. The family was relieved of the financial burden of paying for hotel rooms, eating out and had the company and support of other families facing similar challenges.

Built on the simple idea that nothing else should matter when a family is focused on the health of their child, Ronald McDonald House operates charitable facilities that provide safe temporary living accommodations for critically ill children and their families while receiving medical treatment in the San Antonio area.

Last year, 2080 families were able to find comfort when they needed it the most in one of our RMHC Houses in San Antonio or our Family Rooms in Laredo. They enjoyed 19,530 meals and snacks served by the loving hands of volunteers. With your support, these houses are open and staffed 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
