Acerca de Ronald McDonald House of Dallas
The Ronald McDonald House of Dallas exists to serve and support families when a serious illness or injury strikes the most precious part of their lives, their children. The Ronald McDonald House program was built on the simple idea that nothing else should matter when a family focuses on healing their child, not where they can afford to stay, where they will get their next meal, or where they will rest. A night to rest Since 1981, when the Ronald McDonald House in Dallas opened its doors, more than 36,000 families have received help.
This year, the Chamber will help some 2,000 families. These families come from all over the world to the Dallas area because of the strength of the local hospitals and the treatment their children will receive here.
