A "Home Away From Home"

For families in crisis facing the serious illness of a child, there are many unknowns.  Today, the question "Where will I stay?" doesn't have to be one of them thanks to the Ronald McDonald House in Columbus, GA.  For the hundreds of families who find themselves away from their home during a medical crisis, lodging alternatives are slim.  Those who cannot afford a hotel must commute, doze in a hospital waiting room or at best, sleep in their car.  Even for those who can afford a hotel, the cost of an extended stay can be more that most families can bear. 

The Ronald McDonald House in Columbus, GA provides temporary lodging to the families of children, age 21 or younger, who travel to Columbus for specialized medical care.  Families who cross the threshold seek respite, an encouraging word, a place to rest, regroup and ready themselves to face whatever tomorrow may bring.  For these individuals, the Ronald McDonald House represents more than just a place to stay; it is a place of warmth, comfort and caring.

The Ronald McDonald House in Columbus, GA is owned and operated by the non-profit organization, Ronald McDonald House Charities of West Georgia, Inc.
