Ronald McDonald House Charities South Texas

Keeping critically ill children near the care they need so families can get better together.

A parent's love is everything. And when that love needs support, we are by their side. We have a simple goal: to keep families with sick children together and near the care and resources they need. Helping a child fight illness takes a big enough emotional toll on a family. When financial strain is added and families are forced to separate, the health of the sick child suffers. We remove these challenges for struggling families by providing home-like lodging and meals near their hospitalized child, a place to rest within the hospital, and complimentary essentials.

Since 1990, our organization has supported tens of thousands of families with the help of volunteers, hospital partners, respected community leaders, and generous donors. Our House offers families a place to stay while their children receive necessary medical treatment at nearby hospitals. More than a building with rooms to sleep, more than a hotel alternative, or a place to have a meal, RMHCSTX is a sanctuary. For over thirty years, we have shared in the pain, joy, struggles, and progress of every family who has made a home with us for a night or for months.

Testimonials

"RMHC in Corpus Christi is a true home made up of people who give you a hand in the most difficult moments. All I can say is I can't express anything but gratitude to all the staff who became part of my family for months. My family will always remember them... despite everything... it was the place where my baby had fun, grew, got better despite everything, had friends and most importantly was very happy...I hope they continue to be such a helpful place for families in the hospital the way it was for us. Thanks for all the attention…" -RMHC Mom
