“From the day I was released from the hospital after the unexpected early birth of our daughter to the day we brought her home, the Ronald McDonald House is the reason we made it through still smiling and living as if we were all “normal” at home. 59 nights and we couldn’t have thanked all of the staff there enough for being so supportive and welcoming. My son was gifted many toys/coloring books that made it that much more like home! Arnelle was the absolute friendliest person we met while staying there—from her welcoming heart to her hardworking effort to keeping the life of the party while families go through some of the hardest times of their life. We couldn’t thank Ronald McDonald House enough and their staff for being a home away from home!”

Stories like the Ebell family’s remind us of the incredible strength and resilience of parents who face the unimaginable with grace and courage. At Ronald McDonald House New Mexico, we are honored to support these parents and family members—providing a comforting space, warm meals, and moments of peace during their medical journey. We recognize and uplift everyone who has stayed with us, like the Ebell family, and we thank our community for making it possible for Ronald McDonald House New Mexico to continue being a true home away from home.

Your support helps keep families close when they need it most. Every gift, every volunteer hour, and every shared story ensures that mothers like Mrs. Ebell can focus on what matters most—being there for their children.
