This Christmas, YOU can Be a Santa for Sick Kids
For most kids, Christmas is a time for toys and fun.
For the seriously ill and injured children staying at Ronald McDonald House, they just want their families close as they battle childhood illnesses and injuries.
On average, it costs Ronald McDonald House Charities $160 to support a family for one night.
We need to raise 625 nights to provide a home-away-from-home for kids undergoing life-saving treatment this Christmas.
By donating now, you can give a seriously ill or injured child the best gift of all - their family.
So, will YOU Be a Santa for Sick Kids this Christmas?

YOU CAN BE A SANTA FOR...
Meet some of our brave and courageous kids who need a Santa this Christmas.
DANTE
Dante was only 5 months old when he was diagnosed with liver cancer.
This beautiful boy has battled through months of chemotherapy, surgeries, and treatments in the hope of beating this awful disease.
For Dante's family, being able to call Ronald McDonald House a home has helped them get through the toughest time of their lives.
LIBBY
In April of this year, five-year-old Libby was diagnosed with inoperable liver cancer.
Due to the nature of the cancer, doctors have told her family she needs a full liver transplant.
This brave girl and her lovely family have been staying at Ronald McDonald House for 137 nights (and counting).
Aaron
Aaron was diagnosed late last year with stage IV high risk Neuroblastoma.
He's fought through 5 cycles of chemo, multiple surgeries, bone marrow aspirations, stem cell transplants, blood transfusions, and intensive immunotherapy.
Aaron's family has been staying at Ronald McDonald House for over 300 nights, so they can stay close to their little boy.
Arthur
For Arthur's mum, the only clue her baby boy was sick, was a tiny purple rash on his leg that just didn't look right.
A visit to the hospital confirmed the worst-case scenario... Arthur was diagnosed with leukaemia.
The last few months have been a non-stop whirlwind of hospital visits, treatments, and surgeries. Being able to stay at the House has been life-changing.
