The House is an initiative of the Ronald McDonald Children\u2019s Fund (Vzw Kinderfonds Ronald McDonald Fonds pour les Enfants). Together, we are committed to supporting the well-being of families with premature or sick children. <\/p>

We extend that care to our vacation homes as well, where families can take a breather after a difficult time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Our Mission and Vision <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We ensure that families can stay close to their hospitalized child in a place that offers peace, comfort, and care.<\/span><\/p>

We are removing the barriers that prevent families from staying together during the treatment process, so that every child can receive the care they need.<\/span><\/p>

Any family can stay at the House, regardless of their circumstances. We make this possible together, through voluntary contributions. <\/span><\/p>

Want to know how we make that happen every day?<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Our House<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Ronald McDonald House provides a home for parents of hospitalized children. Parents, brothers, and sisters can stay at the Ronald McDonald House, which is just a stone\u2019s throw from the hospital, so they can visit their sick child every day to comfort them and shower them with love during difficult times. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The Ronald McDonald House is fully equipped and has ten guest rooms with private bathrooms. The living room, dining room, kitchen, laundry room, library, play area, and two patios are shared with other parents. <\/p>

The House ensures that children, together with their parents, brothers, or sisters, can briefly escape the medical environment and recharge in a warm place just a minute and a half from the UZ hospital.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
