The Atlanta Ronald McDonald House Adopt-A-Family Program was created to help subsidize a family’s stay,
allowing us to serve as many families as possible each year. You can “Adopt-A-Family” with a contribution of $120
for one night. Your donation of $840 will support a family for the average length of stay – seven nights.
While the actual cost associated with housing and support services provided by the two Houses is close to $120 per night, the requested contribution from each family is only $20 per night for a room or $30 per night for a transplant suite.
Approximately 69 percent of families are unable to make any contribution toward their stay — be it the requested amount or even $1 for their entire stay.
Although the average stay is seven nights, many families stay for weeks or months. Families save, on average, $230 per night or nearly $1,610 per seven-night stay. For the 2,926 families we served in 2019, that was a total savings of about $4.6 million.
Families who have been devastated with medical bills and other expenses often cannot afford even a small contribution for an extended period — and families are never turned away based upon financial hardship.
To adopt a family or learn more, contact Kelly D’Adam, Corporate and Foundation Relations Manager, at 678.704.8096.
