Can you help bring families closer to
their sick child?
Every year, thousands of families rely on the essential support of Ronald McDonald House Charities Victoria and Tasmania to stay close to their seriously ill or injured child.
One of those families Ethan's. Little Ethan was only 8 months old when doctors discovered the tumor on his kidney. With the hospital 200km from home, his parents faced an impossible choice - be there for their baby's treatment or manage life at home.
"His little tummy was so hard and distended," remembers Ethan's mom, Mindy. What followed was every parent's nightmare - a cancer diagnosis, multiple surgeries, and over a year of treatment.
But thanks to generous donors, Ethan's family stayed together through it all. Their "home away from home" was just minutes from his hospital bed.
Today, another family is facing that same impossible distance.
When home is too far away, your gift brings families closer. This tax time, help keep families together when they need it most.
