Meet Matilda
Matilda is an energetic, active, cheeky nine-year-old. She loves playing sports and spending time with her two big brothers.
Sadly, in November, she was also diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma after two large masses were found in her liver and in her lung.
Together with her family, she has to pack up her life at home and relocate 400kms to Westmead to ensure she could receive the best treatment possible. The financial and emotional stress of this for the family was unimaginable...and then they found Ronald McDonald House.
They found a place they could call home, for Matilda to find space to balance her treatment and spending time with family when she needed it most.
We are so grateful for all that Ronald McDonald House does for our family, as we would be lost without this incredible charity, both financially and emotionally.” – Kate, Matilda’s mum

Your gift provides more than a place to sleep for families
On average, it costs $160 per night to support each family staying at Ronald McDonald House Charities Greater Western Sydney (in Westmead).
For the families staying at the Houses, their entire stay is at no cost to help relieve some of the pressures of being away from home.
At Ronald McDonald House, a night means more than just a roof over a family’s head.
A night for our families means:
- Warm and supportive accommodation, so families can focus on their sick child.
- A network of support through other families, staff, and volunteers.
- The hospital is a quick 5-minute walk away.
- A kitchen full of food, with meals cooked by our supporters three times a week.
- In-house education support by qualified teachers.
- Access to 40 hours of free tuition when the patient returns home.
We need your help, now more than ever, to ensure that support continues.
