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 diseases, illnesses and injuries.
On average, it costs Ronald McDonald House Charities $160 to support a family for one night.
We need to raise 1,500 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.
Rylan
In January, this year, four-year-old Rylan underwent surgery to remove a tumor from behind his eye.
He was then diagnosed with T-cell Lymphoma, a rare form of cancer that hasn't been seen in over ten years.
Rylan spent 205 nights at Ronald McDonald House, enduring 6 months of intensive chemotherapy, followed by a further 18 months of oral chemotherapy.
Millie
Millie has already survived multiple open heart surgeries. She was diagnosed with Complex Congenital Heart Disease.
In January 2020, Millie suffered a cardiac arrest. It took 6 minutes of CPR to revive her.
Millie's family has stayed at Ronald McDonald House for 261 nights, to be close to their daughter's bedside when things go wrong.
Dominic
For the first 8 months of his life, Dominic did not leave the hospital.
1-year-old Dominic was born with a giant omphalocele (organs outside his body), and he has endured chronic lung disease, lung collapses, multiple surgeries, tracheostomy, pulmonary problems and more.
His parents have stayed over 358 nights at Ronald McDonald House, to always be there for their little boy.
Rebecca and Kristine
12-year-old Rebecca (left) was born with a cleft palate and fusion of the skull. Her younger sister, Kristine (right), was also born with fusion of the skull.
Since 2009, at least four times a year, their family has had to travel over 500kms to attend specialist hospital appointments in Brisbane.
For these brave sisters, having a home away from home at Ronald McDonald House has been life-changing.
