Hands with Heart Embellishment

Help Create a Summer of Support

Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland & Northwest Indiana is a lifeline for families during tough times. While many of us look forward to relaxing summer days, other families are planning for something much different – their children’s medical care. Summer is the busiest time of year for RMHC-CNI and many of our Houses and Family Rooms operate at full capacity.

The next three months — June, July and August — are the busiest time of year. By rallying together, we can gather the resources needed to provide a home away from home for as many families as possible.


We need your help


Start a Fundraiser

Help ensure families have the support they need this summer by starting your own fundraising page! It’s easy, and we’ll guide you through every step. Share your campaign with friends, family, and colleagues to rally funds and exceed your goal.

Your Impact


Aliyah Garcia's Family
Aliyah Garcia's Family

Aliyah Garcia was only a few weeks from her fifth birthday when doctors diagnosed her with leukemia that would eventually lead to four rounds of chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant. But even after everything Aliyah experienced, her stay at Ronald McDonald House with her family inspired her to help other families going through the same thing.

Eller Schafer's Family
Eller Schafer's Family

At just 5 months old, Eller underwent open heart surgery to repair his heart. Since then, he visits his cardiologist yearly to monitor his health. Ronald McDonald House has remained Eller's family's constant support throughout his medical journey.

Piper Schultz's Family
Piper Schultz's Family

The day before Piper Schultz's first birthday, Piper’s parents were excited to take their daughter to her swimming lesson and begin planning her special day. Instead, Piper was rushed to Lurie Children's Hospital for a six-week stay to treat neuroblastoma. Thanks to the Ronald McDonald Family Room in the hospital, her parents were never far away.

Make a Difference for Those in Need


Parents don’t know when their children will need medical help. But they should know they can have a place to stay. With your help, everyone will have a warm, friendly home away from home.
