Your support helps us provide a renewed sense of comfort and care to families during their toughest times.

Join us in congratulating the Sheaffer family from Cumberland County, PA! After a 42-night stay, they are heading back home. The family stayed with us while 8 year old Nova received treatment for cancer. While they stayed with us, Nova was able to take advantage of our tutoring program to help her keep up with her schoolwork. Leave your well wishes for Nova below!

We love hearing from our RMHC Philly families! 💕 Here's a recent message we received from Rachel from Tamaqua, PA. She and her family have stayed with us multiple times over the last two and a half years, most recently in December: "Our family would like to thank the Ronald McDonald House for an incredible stay! Our little guy did not want to leave today! He absolutely loved being at the House, and it provided an escape from his anxieties about the procedures he had over the last two days. The house lighting was so much fun. Thank you so much!" Have you been impacted by one of our RMHC Philly programs? We’d love to hear your story! Share with us here: https://lnkd.in/eyUEwifd.
