Hugo's Story
At just two and a half years old, Hugo faced a diagnosis no family expects – leukemia.
Living 250km from the hospital, his parents Pene and family were confronted with what seemed impossible: maintaining a constant presence during his treatment while managing the practical challenges of being far from home.
Ronald McDonald House changed everything.
Here, Hugo has found joy even during tough times, making friends with other children and turning what could have been an isolating experience into one filled with support and hope. With access to home comforts and a caring community, Hugo's family can focus on what matters most – being together during his healing journey.
Thank you to our generous sponsors
