At Ronald McDonald House Charities of Denver, when families have a seriously ill child and need medical care far from home, you can turn to Ronald McDonald House Charities of Denver and Aurora where you will find a comfortable place to live while in the Denver Metro area. In addition, you will find support, care, understanding and compassion from staff, volunteers and other families staying at the house. There are two requirements that must be met in order for families to stay at RMHC-Denver and Aurora:

*The patient must be aged 21 years old or younger, and

*The family must have permanent residence at least 60 miles from the hospital where the patient

  is being treated. There is no cost to them. (In order for Ronald McDonald House Charities to continue to meet the expense of keeping families near the care and resources needed, they encourage – but do not require – guests to donate whatever they are able). Their Houses are places where laughter is shared, friendships are formed, and hope is nurtured.
