Ronald McDonald House can only accommodate about 30 per cent of the people who need it in Canada .

Families from Windsor-Essex are forced to leave home for children’s medical care.

The charity said its services save families about $500 per night by offering alternatives to expensive hotels and a place to cook meals.

Last year , RMHC Southwestern Ontario served 3,600 families.

“It’s that much worse when you don’t get into Ronald McDonald because, as a caregiver, you aren’t getting your personal basic needs met. “They really do a lot to help you. So when you don’t get in, it can be awful.” For more information about services, or to donate, go to the Ronald McDonald House (RMHC) Southwestern Ontario website. [email protected].
