Give families a taste of home by providing a home-cooked meal
Although just six months old, Clayton Black has been in and out of the hospital multiple times in his short life. When his parents, Cameron and Ashlynn, were told during pregnancy that baby Clay had hydrocephalus, they knew their son was facing a rough start.
Jason and Katrina Beck’s lives abruptly changed course when baby Ben was born nearly 17 weeks early. Thus began a new 9-month journey at UNC Children’s Hospital and a stay at Ronald McDonald House in Chapel Hill.
The Wishing Tree is a holiday angel-tree program to support seriously ill children and their families during the holidays. Participating groups receive ornaments to distribute to members or hang on a tree. Each ornament contains a gift needed for a child or parent, or a food or household item needed to keep Ronald McDonald House programs running. An Amazon gift list is also available.
Be a light - Light a Luminary! Each year, glowing candles line the streets of neighborhoods across the Triangle in honor of sick children. Now in its 33rd year, the Light a Luminary project brings together 80+ local communities to support families staying at Ronald McDonald House Triangle who are unable to be home for the holidays due to their children’s serious illness or injury.
Lights of Love is more than a fundraising campaign — it’s a LIFELINE for families with seriously ill children. This year, companies, groups, and individuals from across the Triangle are coming together again to support families whose children are receiving critical care at Duke, UNC, and WakeMed Children’s Hospitals. With your help, we hope to raise $670,000 to support these vital services. The campaign culminates in a Community Celebration on Dec 6 at American Tobacco Campus in Durham.
