The Ronald McDonald House of Galveston provides a caring environment where parents can share their worries and concerns with families in similar situations. Their emotional support is a crucial factor to the well-being of the pediatric patient. Because the House provides an alternative to expensive, isolated hotel rooms, these families can remain together.
Our House has 20 fully furnished and air-conditioned private bedrooms plus common areas for the families, including play and quiet areas for all ages, an outdoor accessible playground, a large, fully equipped modern kitchen and two dining rooms, free laundry facilities and two accessible elevators. Our classroom is one of the favorite places for the children, as our teacher gives them books, projects, games and lessons to help them keep up their studies. The bi-lingual staff is on duty 24 hours a day 7 days a week. It is designed to be a family home to provide as much comfort as possible to families in their times of need. Evening and weekend activities are planned by our volunteers to provide an element of fun to the children and their caregivers.
The Ronald McDonald House of Galveston serves families from the University of Texas Medical Branch, the only multi-category state referral hospital in Texas and the Shriners Children's Texas Hospital.
