this Holiday Season
Make your year-end donation now.
Help RMHC provide comfort, hope and love to families facing serious childhood illness.
Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Capital Region (RMHC-CR) will be here for the MacEntee family and countless others, thanks to the compassion of generous friends like you. Your year-end donation will help ensure families can stay together — surrounded by comfort, hope and love — during the holidays and all the year through.
“I am grateful to Ronald McDonald House for the hospitality they provided to relatives during a stressful time in their lives,” shared RMHC-CR donor John Leonard, who will generously match all donations dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000 received between now and December 31, 2024.

My name is Meghan MacEntee. I was a 19-year-old college swimmer when I was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia.
Over the past year, I went through five rounds of chemotherapy at Albany Medical Center. In a time filled with darkness and hardship, the Ronald McDonald House makes sure there is joy, light and happiness… even through the trauma, you can still smile and be happy.
I am grateful to share I celebrated my last chemo treatment on October 30 with members of the Ronald McDonald House team at my side.
Thank you so much to those who donate to this magical place. You are truly the most amazing people on this earth for supporting Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Capital Region. I know I speak for my family and all people who are going through such a difficult time in their lives when I say thank you – we truly appreciate you.
