👉Watch Keung Keung's Story

In 2017 Keung Keung was playing with his friend on the way to school, he fell heavily on the ground and severely injured his head. When he was sent to hospital, the doctors told his parents that it was not optimistic. The parents almost broke down but they never gave up. Keung Keung has been in a coma for three months. Fortunately, he regained consciousness after two brain surgeries and a social worker referred him to Ronald McDonald House Charities^® (RMHC) Hong Kong.

Keung Keung faces difficulties in dysphagia, speech and mobility and needs to receive treatment from Prince of Wales Hospital every day. If he lives at home, he has to take more than an hour to go to hospital. As he grows and becomes heavier, his mom finds it hard to take care of him. Staying at Ronald McDonald House Hong Kong, it takes only about 5 minutes to the hospital. The family can receive support when they are back at “Home”. Besides interest classes, parents in the House support each other. The most important of all is that they can stay close with their families every day.

Keung Keung was discharged from our “Home” but he and his family are still our beloved “family members”. He is making good progress in his recovery and joins our activities from time to time. Keeping families close and near the care they need is what we always do.

👉Watch Angus's Story

Angus and his mom stayed in Ronald McDonald House^® in 2001. They found that it was not only a temporary home, but also a house that love built. After recovery, Angus and Mrs. Au joined our volunteer team. At first, Mrs. Au came every Saturday to support housekeeping work while Angus played with the sick children and acted as an Art teacher. They also shared their own experience with the sick children and their families to alleviate their pressure.

In recent years, Angus and Mrs. Au assisted our major fundraising events such as Raffle Ticket Sales, Gala Dinner and Open Day. They want to share love with others through voluntary works. They are not only our long-term volunteers, but also our family members!  

John, a chubby boy, was diagnosed with leukemia when he was eight years old. As a single parent with little family support, John’s mother faced tremendous pressure. She got divorced a few years ago and did not have closed family members by her side. Fortunately, John’s doctor referred the family to Ronald McDonald House^® Hong Kong. In this temporary home, they received great support and encouragement. While the mother shared her experience with other parents, she could ease her tension during difficult time. They also joined regular activities such as yoga, music class, etc. that helped them relieve their pressure and anxiety. John has made friends with other children and he became a Super Fan of our activities. He has already recovered and returned home. John and his mother still provide great support to our activities. They are always our “family members”.
