Did you know that over 2,300 families stayed at the Columbus Ronald McDonald House in 2009? That means that those families stayed right across the street from their hospitalized children for over 20,000 nights combined. That is 20,000 nights that a mom could rest in a comfortable bed knowing that she was only moments away from her baby. Brothers and sisters had 20,000 days in a kid friendly House where they could take a break from the stress of the hospital environment.
