Sponsor a Stay for sick kids like Magnus

When you choose to Sponsor a Stay, you are giving families more than just a bed for the night. You are giving them comfort, care, and the chance to stay close to their child at Ronald McDonald House Randwick.

By committing as little as $16 a month, you will cover the cost of a family’s stay and join our Comfort Crew, a special community of friends who make sure families have a safe place to rest when they need it most.

On average, it costs $190 to support a family for one night. Together, the generosity of our Comfort Crew makes this possible for families every single day. You can choose $16 a month or any amount that feels right for you.


By Sponsoring a Stay, you are helping us to provide:

🏠 A welcoming home just steps away from Sydney Children’s Hospital, ensuring families can stay together when it matters most.  

🍲 Home-cooked meals, allowing families to recharge and recover after exhausting days at the hospital.  

💞 Emotional support from our dedicated staff and incredible volunteers, making sure families never feel alone in their journey.

💸Financial relief from accommodation and daily expenses so families can focus on what matters most — their child.

But it goes even further. Regular gifts give us the certainty to plan ahead, so we know we will always have the resources ready to welcome families through our doors. It means we can confidently say yes to parents in crisis, knowing there will be a room, a meal, and a community of support waiting for them.

As part of our Comfort Crew family, you’ll enjoy:

Welcome Pack

A Message From Karina

Born prematurely at 27 weeks, baby Magnus needed immediate 24-hour care for complications with his breathing. 

For 73 nights, he and his family called the House their ‘home’ while Magnus received life-saving treatment. 

For Magnus' mum Karina, being able to stay close to their little one during his intense procedures has brought so much relief.

This would have to be one of the most appreciated services provided to families with children in hospital (I can definitely say it was for us.) After spending multiple months there, I can safely say it very much feels like a home you can stay in, even whilst sharing with others. Taking away the burden and stress of accommodation availability and costs, especially in places like Randwick (hotels are VERY expensive) really alleviates unnecessary stress during such difficult journeys for families.

Without supporters like yourselves, I know my family would’ve struggled to cope with visiting and by having the house I was able to spend as much time with my baby in the hospital as I could (very much appreciated as a new mum) whilst also having a place for some respite and to eat decent food to keep soldiering through. Your ongoing support is going to an incredible cause, and we cannot thank you enough.


– Karina, Magnus' Mum
