When families must travel to New York City for the advanced cancer treatment they can’t get anywhere else, they can find a loving place to stay at our House. We’re proud to provide a supportive, caring place that keeps families close when they need each other most.

Located on East 73rd Street in Manhattan and in close proximity to 13 major cancer treatment centers, Ronald McDonald House New York welcomes children and families from across the country and the world. The House can accommodate 84 families and is filled to capacity almost every night.

We ask families for a requested donation of just $35 a night — far less than the cost of a Manhattan hotel room. But no family is ever turned away just because they can’t afford to pay.
At our House, families are welcomed with love and comfort.
