At Ronald McDonald House of Southwestern Ontario, volunteers and staff are committed to helping guest families in an atmosphere filled with hope and support, providing much more than just comfortable and affordable accommodation. While the cost to the House of accommodating a family for one night is more than $75, families are asked to contribute just $10 a night. No family is ever turned away due to an inability to pay. Keeping things so affordable certainly goes a long way toward helping to ease the financial stress of families who discover they must be in the core of a major urban centre for what could be many weeks or months. Imagine the cost of a hotel room and many other daily living expenses incurred, while mortgage or rent and car payments continue to mount up back home. Our extensive services - which include seasonal events, family dinners, laundry, computer and internet access – ensure that all members of the family are supported during an extremely stressful time.
