How You Can Help

We can’t do it alone. Your contributions offer families all kinds of help, like daily meals, activities, wellness, education, and camaraderie. Now through the end of September, your donation will be DOUBLED in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness month.

Every time you give to The House, you can honor someone special, such as a loved one who has fought their own battle with cancer. You can also send a heartfelt eCard along with your gift today!

Where We’re Going

By 2026, we’re expanding our reach across all five boroughs to support families facing the social and economic challenges that directly affect health. That includes opening family rooms in every borough, growing our partnerships with community-based corporations and broadening our donor base.

With a presence at more hospitals throughout the five boroughs, we can help even more vulnerable and impoverished families right here in New York City.

You Can Make A Difference

Your gift directly benefits kids battling cancer either here at The House or in Ronald McDonald Family Rooms in NYC hospitals. We show up through providing meals, transportation to and from treatment, music, art, community, and more so our kids can be children first, and patients second.

Want to know exactly where your donations go? Here’s how much it costs to support our families:

  • $64 = round-trip transportation to and from appointments for two families
  • $108 feeds a family for two days
  • $400+ = two nights stay at The House
