The Gift of Staying Together This Holiday Season
Be the Light This Holiday Season for Families in Need
For more than 40 years, Ronald McDonald House Central Texas has been a place of comfort, connection, and care for families whose children are critically ill or injured. Because of our compassionate community, families are never asked to face some of their hardest moments alone.
Instead, they are given a place to rest, recover, and stay close to the child who needs them most.
Through the Ronald McDonald House, Ronald McDonald Family Rooms, Happy Wheels Cart, and Family Support Services, RMHC CTX touches the lives of thousands of families each year—offering not just essentials like warm meals and housing, but reassurance, understanding, and support when it matters most.
Karen C. knows the impact of this mission firsthand. When her triplets—Charlie, Lucy, and James—were born prematurely at 33 weeks, fear filled what should have been a joyful season. Home felt far away until she was welcomed by Ronald McDonald House Central Texas.
“RMHC CTX kept us together for our first Christmas. I will never forget what a gift that was.”
Staying just steps from her babies in the NICU, Karen found comfort in warm meals made with love, quiet moments of rest, and a community that truly cared and understood what she was going through. That support stayed with her long after her family returned home, inspiring years of giving back—cooking meals at the House and sharing her story.
“For families facing a pediatric crisis, I just want to share that you’re not alone.”
This holiday season, you can be the reason a family stays close to their children and close to the magic of the season. When you give today, you offer a family the chance to experience the holidays together.
The mission of Ronald McDonald House Central Texas, RMHC CTX, is to create, find, and support programs that directly improve the health and well-being of children and families.
