Families like Ellie's need help to stay strong. Your monthly gift can help give them all the support they need.

When a child is ill or injured, it affects the entire family. Everyday life is disrupted, especially when the best medical treatment is far from home. Your support helps families stay together, strong, connected and close by, at the heart of the care they need.

Families like Ellie’s need your help to stay strong

Ellie was just four years old, a happy, bright little girl. Then one day, she woke up screaming in pain. Her frightened parents rushed her to the hospital for tests. Four days later came  news every parent dreads.. Little Ellie was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma – a rare and aggressive form of cancer.

Brave Ellie went through surgeries, chemotherapy and 23 rounds of radiation. Mum and Dad were with her every step of the way. They were terrified. They were exhausted. But they needed to stay strong for their little girl.

With help from people like you, Ronald McDonald House South East Queensland provided them with a place where they could do just that. 

Will you help make sure more families get the support they need, month in and month out?

A place where they could share homecooked meals. A place where people understood exactly what they were going through and could give them all the support they needed. A place to stay strong.
