McHappy Day
$3.66 million…
That’s this year’s Mchappy Day target!
For 30 years,
families have been lucky enough
to have their accommodation arranged
while they
have
very sick children in hospital.
Australia has 13
Ronald McDonald
Homes
Charity (RMHC).
More than 100,000 families
have been helped by RMHC.
Sadly, 1
in 8 Aussies
have either stayed
in one of the houses or
knows someone who has.
These houses were first created
in memory of McDonalds’ creator,
Ray Kroc.
He
wanted to give something back
to the community.
McDonalds covers the costs
of administration and management.
The RMCH
closest to me,
is at Randwick.
The Randwick House has 28 bedrooms.
There’s a
communal kitchen
and dining room –
with a pantry of staples.
There’s a toy room
for the kids
and a brand new teenager’s room.
A team of staff run the House.
Many of the things that are done
around
the House,
are done by volunteers.
Today is McHappy Day.
Today, Big Macs
are
being sold everywhere…
and, two dollars from each Big Mac
sold today will go to
the
Ronald McDonald House Charities!
If you never eat McDonalds,
today is the
day to have a Big Mac!
If you really don’t like Big Macs,
you can buy a Helping
Hand.
All money raised from the
purchase of Helping Hands
will go to the
Houses!
Can’t get to a McDonalds?
Easy!
You can buy a Helping Hand on-line.
I’m “one in eight”.
I know someone who is sleeping
in a Ronald McDonald
House tonight!
I don’t eat McDonalds…
but, today…
I will have a Big Mac
and buy
a Helping Hand.
Last year, we did this…
never realising how much
we were helping our
future selves.
Today is an easy, easy way
to make a huge difference!
