Who We Serve
Every day New Mexico families with critically ill children travel to Albuquerque for essential medical care not available in their community. Children in medical crisis need their parents nearby, and families need a temporary home while supporting their ill children. Staying at a hotel is not financially possible. Since 1982, the Ronald McDonald House has provided more than 8,000 nights annually of temporary lodging to thousands of families traveling 50 miles or more away from Albuquerque, facing this challenging situation.
In addition, with over 17,000 visits annually, the Ronald McDonald Family Rooms at the University of New Mexico Children’s Hospital and Presbyterian Hospital offer a place to rest and regroup right at the hospital for local families and those traveling just moments away from their sick child.
