A Place to
Be A Family

We received this great story from one of our dedicated supporters. Why does Anthony Tubbiolo, a loving father, husband, and owner of True Love Honey, care so much about the mission of RMHC? Here’s what he had to say. True Love Honey started a little over 7 years ago with just $212.00. I was working […]

Ethel Haber volunteers five days a week but she says since she’s turned 80, she doesn’t work a full day! On Fridays, you’ll find her at the Ronald McDonald House, staffing the front desk, checking on rooms, cleaning and organizing the kitchen. (She doesn’t like to sit still.) She’s been volunteering for us since 2008. […]

Over the next two weeks our mission partners, the local Southern Arizona McDonald’s restaurants, are giving their customers the opportunity to change the lives of critically ill children and their families – one small act at a time. Here’s how: (stay with us) You might stop by the McDonald’s drive-thru on your way to work […]

It’s amazing what a common goal can do to unite people. Marissa and Alma are two Mountain View (Marana) High School students who never quite saw eye to eye. Marissa is outgoing, Alma isn’t very comfortable speaking in front of a group. At the beginning of their senior year, they would dread working together on […]

We know from design blogs that it’s the little things that turn a house into a home.  But at the Ronald McDonald House, it’s not lamps and throw pillows – it’s kindness. A couple was eating a late lunch in our kitchen and one of our volunteers, Judy Cathey, politely approached them and offered to […]

What does it take to get over 500 soccer players and their parents to an event early on a Sunday morning when the temperature started out at 45 degrees? Apparently it takes Frances Contreras, Administrator for the Tanque Verde Soccer Club and RMHC volunteer extraordinaire, who recruited all those players to the Ronald McDonald House […]

Cindy Evers, who retired from Tucson Medical Center as a Labor & Delivery nurse in 2014, was looking for a new project. Friends invited her to the House to cook as part of our Chef for a Day program. She liked it here and wanted to learn more. “I thought that volunteering for Ronald McDonald […]

Every year we post a wish list for the House – toys for our kids, gifts for their parents, supplies we need to keep the House running.
