MEET GEORGIE
When two-and-a-half-year-old Georgie developed fevers and became severely dehydrated, her parents, Courtney and Jamie, never imagined how quickly their lives would change. After blood tests revealed Georgie was anaemic, further testing confirmed every parent’s worst fear she had leukaemia.
“We were numb to our core,” Courtney recalls. “Jamie and I just looked at each other, but both had no words. I truly felt pain hit my heart and my body was in shock. I felt like I couldn’t breathe.”
Georgie was urgently transferred from their home three hours away to Sydney, to begin treatment. With no idea how long they'd be away and facing nearly a year of care the family suddenly found themselves far from home, overwhelmed and scared.
That’s when they were introduced to Ronald McDonald House Charities Sydney.
Courtney arrived exhausted, emotionally wrecked, and unsure what to expect. But the moment she walked through the doors, something shifted. “I saw the words Welcome Home and it felt warm.” Courtney says. “It instantly felt like a safe place.”
From daily support from staff and volunteers, to family dinners, playtime, and friendships with other families, RMHC Sydney became a second home. For Georgie, it meant laughter, art, hide and seek, and being a kid again.
“This isn’t just a House,” Courtney says. “It’s our home. It’s our safe place during the most difficult time of our lives. It brings happiness to the kids, comfort to the parents, and light to the darkest moments. This House is love.
For 150 nights and counting Courtney and Georgie have called Ronald McDonald House in Randwick home and all because of generous donors like you who help keep families together as their child takes on the fight of their life.
Thank you to our Matched Giving Partners for making this possible.
Your gift provides more than a place to sleep for families
For the families staying at the House, their entire stay is at no cost to help relieve some of the pressures of being away from home.
At Ronald McDonald House in Randwick, 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.
