"When we think about the future of healthcare...we see a trend by hospitals to really focus care on community-based resources...Fundamentally, Ronald McDonald House New York is that home away from home."                      

                             -Dr. Ruth Browne, President & CEO, RMH-NY

When a child’s health is at stake, every decision feels monumental, every day carries uncertainty, and every moment away from home is fraught with emotional weight. For Neisha and her 11-month-old son, Azaire, this reality began on the serene Caribbean island of Grenada and unfolded across the bustling streets of New York City.

For Allysar, Drew, and their daughter Ayda, the reality of pediatric cancer arrived abruptly, bringing fear, exhaustion, and uncertainty into their home in Florida. As they navigated Ayda’s major surgical needs, and recovery at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in NYC, one constant provided a rare and profound comfort: Ronald McDonald House New York (RMH-NY)

While each child’s story at Ronald McDonald House New York may begin with a diagnosis, what unfolds inside the House is a much more joyful truth for these kids: educational opportunity, growth resilience, and deeply personal victories shaped by holistic care—and the unwavering support of the educators and families who stand beside them. 

This September, join us in building a future where every child has the support they need to heal—and where families find hope, healing, and strength together.

Every year, on the third Sunday in July, National Ice Cream Day arrives—offering the perfect excuse to indulge in your favorite childhood treat and share its joy with others. This year marks seven years of love, service, and community inspired by Dylan Matthew Murphy, carried forward by his family’s tireless volunteer efforts through Dylan’s Dream Team.

During International Family Week (April 28^th- May 2^nd) and only weeks before the world will recognize the UN-supported International Day of Families on May 15th, RMH-NY celebrates the incredible bravery of families like Edgar and Sirlene’s, who left everything behind in Paraguay to save their daughter Candela’s life. Their story reminds us that hope knows no boundaries and that…at Ronald McDonald House New York, every family belongs.

As the anticipation mounts for the 30th Annual Skate with the Greats, a ten-year-old firecracker named Sonya's remarkable journey comes into focus. Her story, defined by courage and determination, is a source of inspiration. Exactly the type of inspiration that Ronald McDonald House New York’s events throughout the year are built upon.
