Story



Ethan's smile for Ronald McDonald House. 

Ronald McDonald House Glasgow is a small independent Scottish charity (SC023199) that provides free ‘home away from home’ accommodation for families with seriously ill children in hospital. 

                   The House costs in the region of £660,000 per year to run, helping c.500 families each year from across Scotland and further afield. The house has all the amenities you would find at home, enabling families to rest and recuperate in a safe haven, very close to their child in hospital.

               We are fundraising to help families who benefit from the 'home away from home' provided by Ronald McDonald House. our fundraising can enable them to supply free accommodation to families who have children receiving treatment at the hospital allowing them to stay close enough to visit as often as possible.

           This is a vital service for families across Scotland. Our friends own family have stayed there twice while Ethan was having life saving treatment.

We want to give something back for all the help they had from everyone throughout their time over the last two years. Without this resource they  would have had a lot of stress trying to travel from the other side of the country to be with  Ethan.

you.
