Where do you find hope when life becomes a marathon between hospital wards? 
The Melnyk family found such support in one of the Ronald McDonald Family Rooms. These are free spaces set up by Ronald McDonald House Charities Ukraine in children’s hospitals across the country, so families can stay together during their children’s treatment. Scroll through the carousel to learn the story of Maria, Mykhailo, and their daughters—it proves that the support of loved ones heals just as powerfully as medicine. 
To support families with sick children, join the “Helping Hand” campaign at McDonald’s Ukraine until July 5! Purchase a sticker or a charitable Apple Pie, with all proceeds going toward maintaining the Family Rooms and building Ukraine’s first Ronald McDonald House with 50 rooms for families.
