Description
At Ronald McDonald House Charities of Western Montana, we believe that when a child is seriously ill, the whole family needs care. Our House provides more than just a place to sleep. It becomes a space of comfort, hope, and stability during some of life’s most overwhelming moments. As one pillar of family-centered care, we work hand-in-hand with the medical teams caring for children, ensuring that families have the support, rest, and resources they need to stay close to their child’s bedside. Whether it’s a warm meal after a long day in the NICU, a soft place to land after receiving hard news, or simply the presence of others who understand. We offer more than a room, we offer a community. Because at RMHC, we know that sometimes the little things — a meal, a hug, a safe space — are the very things that help families keep going.
