Fall 2025 | Notes from Home

To Our Generous Supporters,


Even though fall in Las Vegas doesn't come with changing leaves, this season still brings a special sense of gratitude -- and here at the Ronald McDonald House, we're feeling especially thankful for YOU.


In this edition of our Notes from Home newsletter, we're celebrating the one-year anniversary of welcoming our first family to the Ronald McDonald House at O'Bannon -- an incredible milestone that wouldn't have been possible without your support. You'll also find details on upcoming events and meaningful ways to help even more families in need of comfort and care during their child's medical treatment.


Whether you've given your time, resources, or simply shared our mission with others -- you've made a real difference. Thank you for being a part of our RMHC family.


Gratefully,

Alyson McCarthy

Chief Executive Officer


P.S. Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram for regular updates and special announcements!

Ways to Help This Week

We have several meaningful ways you can support families staying at the Ronald McDonald House!

Shop Our Holiday Wish List - Yes, it's only October... but today's Prime Deal Days are a great chance to check off items from our Amazon Wish List while saving big! Help us get a head start for the holidays.

Volunteer to Make Dinner - A warm, home-cooked meal brings comfort after long days at the hospital. Gather a group and sign up to cook dinner for our families this season. We have several open dates in November and December.

Give Through Your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) - October 10th is DAF Day, a time to bring awareness to one of the most flexible, impactful ways to give. Consider making a donation from your DAF to help us keep caring for families while they care for their child in the hospital.

No matter how you choose to give, your generosity brings warmth, hope, and stability to families when they need it most.

Ronald McDonald House at O'Bannon Celebrates Its First Year

One year ago, we opened the doors of our second Ronald McDonald House and welcomed the Galicias, who stayed with us for 212 nights during Baby Emiliano's extended recovery at the hospital -- just down the street.


Since then, thanks to your generous support, we've eliminated our waitlist and provided housing, meals, transportation, and other vital support to 163 more families for 2,303 nights.


We invite you to watch this short 1-minute video capturing some of the special moments of comfort and care made possible at the Ronald McDonald House at O'Bannon.
