Family origins
Since the House opened in 1994, over 35,000 families from all over the country, and occasionally the Pacific, have called Ronald McDonald House® Auckland their ‘home away from home’.
Last year, January to December 2009, we sheltered and supported:
- 10,472 family members of sick children.
- Provided a total of 21,583 room nights (a 12% increase from 2008).
- In our Ronald McDonald Family Room® we hosted over 35,000 local Mums and Dads for who were taking time out from their child’s hospital ward.
Here’s a breakdown of where our families came from (and why) in 2009:
