Where Hope Has A Home

The capital campaign project to build the Ronald McDonald House Shreveport-Bossier
Picture
Picture
Life changes in a moment, sometimes forever, when a family learns of their child's critical medical condition. The Ronald McDonald House is there to help ease the financial and emotional burdens when a child is hospitalized. It also helps provide access to the critical care needed and enables families to be with together every step of the way during their health crisis.

Families will have a free, private, and safe place to stay, as well as a community of support, meals, daily essentials, laundry and transportation. When they don’t want to be anywhere else but by their child’s hospital bedside, the Ronald McDonald House will be there – they will never be alone.

Dinner will be provided nightly. The Family Pantry will be stocked with breakfast and lunch items as well as snacks for long days and nights at the hospital. The Family Kitchen and Family Dining Room will be the heart of the House, and the Pelican’s Perch coffee bar (again, free) will give parents moments to “perk up”.

Supply closets will be stocked with personal essentials, and all floors of the House will have stocked Laundry Rooms. The Indoor Playroom, Outdoor Playground, Basketball Half-court and other indoor and outdoor family spaces will encourage relaxation, a place to enjoy the fresh air, and give kids space to burn energy. We will also have a Well-being Salon where volunteer stylists will provide free wash/cut/blow-dry services.

​If needed, transportation to and from their child’s hospital will be provided for families. And after long hours at the hospital, they will return to the welcoming faces of our compassionate staff – 24/7 – sometimes to the aroma of freshly baked cookies. Our staff and volunteers provide a compassionate community of support for families. Parents also meet other parents in the House, creating bonds during their child’s medical crisis.

Families not staying with us overnight may need a break from the hospital to collect their thoughts. Hospital social workers can provide a “day pass” to families with the greatest need. They will be able to freshen up with a shower, wash a load of laundry, grab a snack, savor a cup of coffee and quiet moments before returning to the hospital.

No sick child should be alone, and no family should be separated during this time. Thanks to those who will help build the Ronald McDonald House, it will be a place of comfort, care, and hope. Families will not have to worry about their ability to afford a hotel, meals, daily essentials or most importantly not being with their child.

All services at the Ronald McDonald House are provided free of charge.
