At J-AAR, we don’t just build infrastructure — we build community. You already know the value of showing up. Of doing the right thing, the right way, for the right reasons. This fundraising page is a chance to take that same spirit and put it to work for families who need it most.
When a child is seriously ill, their family’s world turns upside down. Ronald McDonald House Southwestern Ontario exists so that no parent has to choose between being by their child’s bedside and keeping a roof over their head. It’s a place where families can stay close, lean on each other, and find moments of warmth and normalcy during the hardest chapters of their lives. Every dollar your team raises helps keep a family together. That’s it. That’s the whole thing — and it matters more than words can say. You’ve built something special at J-AAR: a team that genuinely cares about the people around them. Now, let’s put that heart into action. Whether you raise $50 or $5,000, your effort is part of something much bigger than any one of us. Let’s build something good. Together.
Because of you, families have access to more than 30 programs they rely on each day.
These wraparound services bridge the gap between what government-funded health care provides and what families need to ensure the best health outcomes for their children.
Thanks to your generosity, we can provide:
Food is medicine, and at Ronald McDonald House, our commitment to serving home-cooked meals 7 nights a week is integral to families’ health, wellness and financial stability.
Our Family Room, located within Children’s Hospital, received 17,252 visits last year. Each of those family members were welcomed with home-cooked meals, hot coffee, and a place to sleep, shower and gather strength amidst stressful hospital stays.
