Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Alabama says a warm "welcome" to the families of children receiving medical care.

Families at Birmingham's Ronald McDonald House enjoy a cozy bedroom, cooking, laundry, internet and recreational facilities, dinners provided by volunteers and the support of other families and a caring staff.

Our home-away-from-home allows families to stay close to a sick or injured child without having to sleep in hospital waiting rooms, or bear the often unaffordable expense of a hotel room.

Construction is already underway for the new Family Room at DCH Regional Medical Center in Tuscaloosa and we need your  help! Slated to open in January, this family room will provide a respite for families in the hospital with their sick children. With your help, we will be able to provide families a place torest, relax, and feel at home - at a time when home might seem so far away. Visit any Tuscaloosa area McDonald's (including those in Cottondale, Centreville, Greensboro, Fayette, and Northport) through the end of this month and donate $1 (or more) towards the construction of our new Family Room.

When a child is critically ill, parents are reluctant to leave the hospital. Yet they desperately need a break from the ongoing stress of beeping monitors and busy intensive care units.Research shows that a family presence in the hospital helps children heal faster.Staying close by allows parents to better communicate with their child's medical team.

This 80th family room to open in the United States needs your help to becompleted. Remember you can designate your end of the year gift to the Family Room at DCH Tuscaloosa by donating online at our website. For additional information, please contact Mike Singer at 205-212-7262 or mike.singer@rmhca.org.
