Share-a-Night Fund Gifts to this fund directly support families who are overwhelmed with unexpected medical bills, have low income, or recently lost or left employment in order to spend time with their seriously ill child. The Ronald McDonald House^® of Cleveland never turns away a family due to their inability to pay the $20 per night room fee. For approximately 40% of the families who stay at the House, the room fee is either reduced or deferred. Back to top

Family Fund Gifts to this fund help meet family needs beyond food and shelter. At the staff's discretion, the Family Fund is used to purchase special seasonal items, such as a winter coat and boots; birthday cake, decorations and presents; or to send weary parents on a "date." Back to top
