For the family of a hospitalized child, it will be the most important House they will ever visit. The Ronald McDonald House in Savannah, Georgia, helps families of seriously ill, hospitalized children cope with the stress and expense of daily living while trying to be close and emotionally strong for their child. More than just a room and a hot meal, the Ronald McDonald House is a “Home Away from Home” for families faced with a child’s medical crisis. It can be a quiet place to be alone, or a place of companionship, sharing, and emotional support.
