New name. New look. Same heart.
Ronald McDonald House Charities Singapore is now Ronald McDonald House Singapore – as part of the global brand rollout that began in 2025. While our name and logo have evolved, our mission remains: keeping families at the heart of their child’s care.
Our Core Programmes
We believe that when a child is sick, the family needs comfort and support. That is why we have been working tirelessly to build and sustain our core programmes.
The Ronald McDonald House Family Rooms
A communal lounge where families can recharge and get some respite. The family rooms are just steps away from the Paediatric ICU Ward at NUH, and Sunrise Ward at IMH. The Family Room within the Neonatal ICU Ward at NUH was opened in 2022 specifically for parents of hospitalized newborns.
Our Stories
Baby Mira's Story
When Mira Koh Xin Rong was born, her family's journey quickly became one of resilience and hope. Diagnosed with Tetralogy of Fallot, a form of congenital heart disease, Mira underwent a life-saving heart repair surgery on 15 July. Complications during and after the operation meant that what was expected to be a critical procedure turned into a prolonged and uncertain battle – one that kept Mira in the Intensive Care Unit for five months.

A Guiding Light
“Tears would well up in my eyes during the morning rush hour as I made my way to work. Watching as the kids head to their schools, I found myself saying “Their parents must be very proud of them for wanting to go to school. Why couldn't my own children do the same?” I was raised in a family where education was given utmost importance as it was our guaranteed ticket out of poverty. My husband and I tried to pass down this value to our children, but it did not have the same effect on them.
The Power of Support
One fateful morning in October 2022, the world seemed to come crashing down on Joseph and Jasmine, when they discovered that their 7-year-old son, Thaddeus had fallen from his bed while sleeping and could not wake up. They rushed him to the nearest hospital, fearing a head trauma from the fall. After a CT scan, the doctors discovered that Thaddeus had suffered a stroke, a shock to the family who could not understand how a young boy could have a stroke. Thaddeus was immediately transferred by ambulance to National University Hospital (NUH), where he would begin his journey to recovery. But amidst the fear and uncertainty, the family knew they could count on the support of RMHC, that had helped them in the past and would be there for them once again.
