Kobi and Kyan

“When Kyan was born three months early, my mother came with me to Adelaide and we found accommodation in an apartment for a week, before getting into Ronald McDonald House Adelaide. Over the time we stayed at the House, rental accommodation would have cost us over $10,000. But the House isn’t just about relieving the financial burden.

It represents somewhere stable, somewhere safe, somewhere within walking distance of the hospital. It’s a place where volunteers make you emergency meals after you’ve had a terrible day and where you receive support from staff, volunteers and other families who are going through similar experiences. It is very good for your mental health.”
