Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

There are families who are sleeping in hospital waiting rooms, their cars, or other similar undesirable situations while their sick child is receiving treatment in New Orleans. Sometimes families are torn apart because of the distance they have to travel from their homes for their child to receive medical treatment. The separation from their homes and other family members causes financial and emotional burdens for the entire family and can slow the child's healing process. We provide these families with a "home away from home" - a place to sleep, eat, shower and socialize with other families experiencing similar issues.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

To provide a "home away from home" for families traveling to New Orleans to obtain medical treatment for their critically ill children.

Create a safe and accommodating community living environment for families conducive to mutual support.

Take away a family's worries about their fundamental need of food, shelter and transportation, thereby freeing them to totally focus on their child's healing process.

Ronald McDonald House Charities of South Louisiana has served this need for 40 years. Only location and space limitations limit the number of families for whom we can provide these much-needed services.

Since opening in 1983 RMHC-SLA has served over 20,000 families for more than 148,000 nights. In 2019, 483 families spent 3377 nights staying at Ronald McDonald House New Orleans. In 2022 we will move onto the campus of Children's Hospital, both increasing the number of families we are able to serve, as well as being literally steps away from their child instead of across town. We will also open a Family Room within another hospital approximately 2 hours away, assisting even more families in that community.
