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: Family origins 2009 graphs This graph is also available as a PDF download.
