Support Chris Hill and Ronald McDonald House Westmead
When a child is seriously ill or injured, nothing matters more than being close. But for many families, staying near their child during treatment comes with enormous challenges; long travel, time away from work, and the cost of accommodation. That’s where Ronald McDonald House Westmead (RMHWS) makes a life-changing difference.
RMHWS provides a home away from home for families whose child is receiving treatment at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead. It’s a place filled with warmth, care, and compassion — where families can rest, recharge, and simply be together during some of the most difficult times of their lives.
For families living hours away from Sydney, the hospital can feel like a world away from home. But thanks to RMHWS, hundreds of these families each year can stay just minutes from their child’s bedside without the burden of hotel bills or long commutes. The House offers more than a bed — it offers community, connection, and comfort.
What RMHWS Provides
RMHWS is more than just a building. It’s a sanctuary where parents and siblings can remain together during treatment, surrounded by support from staff, volunteers, and other families going through similar experiences.
Here’s what your support helps provide:
· Free accommodation just steps from the hospital
· Home-cooked meals, laundry facilities, and play spaces to create a sense of normalcy
· Supportive programs that help families feel seen, supported, and less alone
This kind of support eases financial pressure, reduces emotional stress, and allows parents to focus on what truly matters: being there for their child.
