When your child is in hospital, thinking about Christmas can be the last thing on your mind. In our Christmas video, we met four families who spent Christmas at a Ronald McDonald House while their child was in hospital. They revealed how the House helped them make Christmas special for their sick child and their siblings.

Christmas traditions can feel a lot less important when you have a child in hospital. But being close to your family is the only tradition that matters. This December, we will offer a free place to stay for hundreds of families facing a tough Christmas. Your donation could help.
