Poppy's Story

Little Poppy was born prematurely, weighing only 556 grams due to severe preeclampsia and Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). She spent the first 95 days of her life at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital, a long way away from her family’s home town of Moonta. In total, Poppy and her family spent 128 days at Ronald McDonald House South Australia, which became their new home away from home.

Fundraise for Ronald McDonald House South & Central Australia

When a child is diagnosed with a serious illness, it can have a devastating impact on families. As well as the uncertainty and fear, there’s added stress for families who don’t live close to the medical care their child needs.

Without your support, we would be unable to keep our doors open to families in need 365 days a year. Thanks to the public, we’ve been able to continually expand our operations to help more families.
