My first impression of Ronald McDonald House was very positive, as I volunteered to cook and serve a dinner for families near Lurie Children hospital downtown Chicago. When it came time for my own son with Down Syndrome to have open heart surgery, I was excited to hear that Advocate Children Hospital in Oak Lawn has a Ronald McDonald House available. When my wife and I inquired about staying at the Ronald McDonald House, we were told we were not qualified due to the distance between our home and the Ronald McDonald House. The minimum distance to qualify for staying is 15miles. Seeing that Google maps confirmed the distance to be 15miles, we inquired a 2nd time and were told the Ronald McDonald system registered us at 14.8 miles. We were told this meant we were not qualified to stay. Being disqualified for the mileage requirement (even though the world-wide Google standard has specified otherwise) has left us feeling very frustrated with the Ronald McDonald House. This is not what we expected, especially while dealing with the stress of open heart surgery and days of in patient recovery for our son. I hope the Ronald McDonald House reevaluates their mileage criteria to honor industry-wide standards such as Google maps. Also, consider having some sympathy and empathy when you are evaluating the situation and criteria. For all of the families who are going through a very stressful situation, we would appreciate it.

The RMH is amazing! The staff is wonderful and very welcoming. The rooms are cozy and spacious. It's definitely a home away from home.

Its a great place to volunteer at. The staff are nice. Plus helping out children with a meal is a plus. Great to get to know the place and get aquainted with the guests that come.
