    The Moore Family

    From Claremore | 189 nights stayed

    Tim and Krystine Moore’s daughter Amelia was born with life-threatening congenital heart disease. Two days later she was rushed to Oklahoma City Children’s Hospital, hours away, for a series of critical surgeries. Facing months of hospitalization, the Moores worried. Would they have to move? How could they afford months in a hotel? Fortunately, they immediately secured a spot at the Ronald McDonald House and a community of support.

    Give Now

    Ronald McDonald House Charities® Oklahoma City has provided a home away from home to parents and families with children who are ill or injured since 1984. We offer 40 overnight guest rooms, as well as a daytime respite room and essential resources for families whose children are receiving care at Oklahoma Children’s Hospital.

    With multiple Oklahoma City metropolitan hospitals offering pediatric-related specialties, the need for a second House in northwest Oklahoma City — closer to Mercy Hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and Love Family Women’s Center, INTEGRIS Children’s Hospital and Bethany Children’s Health Center — is crucial.

    Make a gift by the end of 2025 to help us reach our $2 million goal and complete the Mabee Foundation Challenge Grant—doubling the impact of your donation!

    A new House is a necessity for Oklahoma

    Located near Mercy Hospital’s NICU and Love Family Women’s Center, and just minutes from INTEGRIS Children’s Hospital and Bethany Children’s Health Center, the House will ensure more families can stay close to their child’s medical care.

    The growing demand is clear — in 2024, we provided 13,851 nights of stay for families, up from 12,161 in 2023, and we often have a waitlist.

    The need for supportive housing is projected to grow over the next 5–10 years as more rural hospitals close and specialized pediatric care expands in Oklahoma City, bringing more families from across the state.

    Opening a new door of hope.

    Leaving a child’s side when they are ill or injured is never easy and hospital proximity is the biggest factor influencing a parent’s decision to take even a short break for self-care.

    For families who are seeking medical care in Oklahoma City for their ill or injured child, finding comfortable, affordable housing near area hospitals is a significant challenge. While the existing Ronald McDonald House serves families at Oklahoma Children’s Hospital, those at other metro-area hospitals are left unserved.

    To help bridge this gap, the new Ronald McDonald House planned for northwest Oklahoma City will enable us to serve families seeking treatment for their child at three additional hospitals, as well as overflow families from our current location.

    Once completed, the three-story, 29,000-square-foot House will offer accommodations for up to 28 families nightly. This expansion will not only keep families together during critical times but will also provide significant financial relief, saving families approximately $940,000 annually in temporary living expenses.

    The new House will offer more than just a place to stay — it will create a supportive and healing community. Thoughtfully designed gathering spaces, including spacious living, dining and kitchen areas, will foster connection and provide families with a sense of belonging during their child’s medical journey.

    Through this public phase of the campaign, we are seeking donations from everyday Oklahomans, from small contributions to major gifts.

    Bring Us Home

    Help keep more families together when their child needs medical treatment with a gift to the Opening Doors Finding Hope Capital Campaign. We’ve raised $13 million toward our $17 million goal for Phase I of the project thanks to generous corporations, foundations, and individual donors, but community support is vital to complete the campaign and build a second Ronald McDonald House in Oklahoma City.

    Double Your Donation

    We’re seeking community support to help us raise $2M by the end of 2025 to unlock a $2 million challenge grant from the Mabee Foundation. If we do not reach out goal, the challenge grant will not be awarded – so community support is essential!
