About the Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte

Currently, Charlotte is the only major US city that does not have a RMH.  The
RMH of Charlotte is scheduled to open sometime in 2010 and will serve the
families of children being treated at Levine Children`s Hospital and Hemby
Children`s Hospital.  Located on the 1600 block of East Morehead Street on land
donated by Carolinas Medical Center, the House will feature approximately 35,000
square feet of living space complete with 28 bedrooms (one family per
bedroom/suite), providing more than 10,000 nights for the families.  It is also
scheduled to have a community kitchen, great room, learning center, playground
and sitting porch.  Construction will hopefully begin in this year.  The RMH of
Charlotte is an independent 501 (c) (3) charity managed by a local board of
directors which will oversee construction and operation of the home.  The cost
of building and operating the RMH of Charlotte will come primarily from
individual and corporate donations.  The RMH of Charlotte will be funded,
constructed and operated by the Charlotte community.  The mission of the RMH of
Charlotte is to provide the families of children being treated in area medical
facilities with a safe, affordable and caring "home away from home."  For more
