Help us raise vital funds for local sick kids and their families.
When a child becomes seriously ill or injured, life is turned upside down for the whole family. You can help care for these families when they need it most.
Your generous gift, no matter how big or small, will make a huge difference.
Show your support for local sick kids by purchasing a pair of Silly Socks at our upcoming Silly Sock Round, or by donating on this page.
“It’s all for the children. I thank them from the bottom of my heart”
13-year-old Seimelli spent one week in Townsville University Hospital’s Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), including six days on life support, after being diagnosed with Melioidosis.
“It’s so easy at Ronald McDonald House. It’s close. It’s just across the road from the Hospital,” Ena, Seimelli's Mum explained.
“They help us with food, good company, lovely staff – they’re very welcoming. The volunteers are really nice. They’re always asking if you’re ok.
“They make the kids [feel] welcome too; the family. There’s a playground and everything for Seimelli’s siblings, for her little brothers to play in.
“I’m really grateful. Seeing what they do. It’s all for the children. I thank them from the bottom of my heart, God bless them for everything they do,” Ena said.
