Ronald McDonald Children's Fund

Ronald McDonald Children's Fund
We donate 1% of all orders we process to a good cause. We have chosen the Ronald McDonald Children's Fund because we know from personal experience how important this fund is for parents with a sick child.

Personal reason
In 2021 we became parents of twins. They were born 12 weeks prematurely at the LUMC in Leiden. We live about 2.5 hours (one way) drive from Leiden and due to the worrying situation we were allowed to use the Ronald McDonald house close to the hospital. It was nice to be close as parents, to your children who already had to settle so medically and coldly. The Ronald McDonald houses at other university hospitals are also close to the hospital, so you can be with your child in 5 minutes.

What are they doing?
In addition to the homes where parents can be close to their child, a number of hospitals have set up living rooms where parents can relax in a homely atmosphere and also seek each other out to share experiences. The homes and living rooms provide peace and security where the rest of the world of parents is uncertain. Parents can retreat there for a while and have a moment for themselves. Despite everything, we look back on a pleasant time in the home and we are grateful that it exists. We therefore want to continue to commit ourselves to these homes and contribute to them in this way, so that parents can also use them in the future.
