FOUNDED AS THE FIRST RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE IN THE WORLD, WE ARE THE MODEL FOR MORE THAN 358 HOUSES IN 42 COUNTRIES AROUND THE GLOBE AND HAVE SUPPORTED THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES IN OUR MORE THAN 40 YEARS OF OPERATION. SINCE OPENING, OUR FIRST HOUSE-LOCATED AT 3925 CHESTNUT STREET-HAS GROWN TO 72,000 SQUARE FEET TO ACCOMMODATE A TOTAL OF 45 FAMILIES EACH NIGHT; IN 2008, WE OPENED A SECOND 27,000-SQUARE-FOOT, THREE-STORY HOME WITH 20 BEDROOMS LOCATED AT 100 E. ERIE AVENUE TO MEET THE EXPANDING NEED FOR OUR SERVICES THROUGHOUT THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA. WE ARE CURRENTLY PLANNING TO EXPAND OUR CHESTNUT STREET LOCATION FROM 45 BEDROOMS TO 115 BEDROOMS TO ADDRESS THE INCREASING DEMAND FOR OUR SERVICES; IN 2015 WE HAD 5,316 REQUESTS TO STAY WITH US AT OUR CHESTNUT STREET HOUSE ALONE THAT WE COULD NOT ACCOMMODATE BECAUSE WE WERE FULL, AND EXPANDING WILL ALLOW US TO MORE THAN DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF FAMILIES WE CAN SERVE. IN 2015, OUR ORGANIZATION FOCUSED EXTENSIVELY ON PLANNING FOR THIS EXPANSION AND CONSTRUCTION IS SET TO BEGIN IN SUMMER OF 2016. OUR HOUSES OFFER FAMILIES A COMFORTABLE AND SECURE ROOM, DAILY HOME-COOKED MEALS, A 24-HOUR FOOD PANTRY, COMPLIMENTARY VANS TO THE HOSPITAL, FREE PARKING, AND LAUNDRY FACILITIES-ALL JUST MINUTES FROM THE HOSPITAL. THEY ALSO OFFER TV LOUNGES, INDOOR AND OUTDOOR PLAY SPACES, EXERCISE ROOMS, FAMILY ACTIVITIES, LOANER LAPTOP COMPUTERS AND WIFI, AND SOCIAL WORKER ASSISTANCE. ADDITIONALLY, OUR HOUSES OFFER THE SUPPORT OF OTHER FAMILIES WHO UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS LIKE TO HAVE A SERIOUSLY ILL CHILD. WHILE IT COSTS THE PHILADELPHIA RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE MORE THAN $117 PER NIGHT TO PROVIDE THESE SERVICES, FAMILIES ARE ASKED TO PAY $15 PER NIGHT. HOWEVER, MANY OF THE FAMILIES WE SERVE ARE SO FINANCIALLY DEVASTATED BY THEIR CHILD'S ILLNESS (AS A RESULT OF TREATMENT COSTS, JOB LOSS OR LEAVE, TRAVELING, AND PAYING EXPENSES AT HOME) THAT THEIR FEE IS WAIVED OR REDUCED; NO ONE IS EVER TURNED AWAY DUE TO INABILITY TO PAY. FAMILIES TRAVELING FROM 25 MILES AWAY OR FURTHER FOR MEDICAL CARE AT PHILADELPHIA HOSPITALS ARE ELIGIBLE TO STAY AT OUR HOUSES, AND CHILDREN MUST BE UNDER THE AGE OF 22 AND IN ACTIVE TREATMENT. IN 2015, OUR TWO HOUSES COMBINED HAD 2,279 FAMILY STAYS WITH FAMILIES TRAVELING FROM 49 STATES, 20 COUNTRIES, 2 BRITISH TERRITORIES, AND 2 U.S. TERRITORIES; 34% OF FAMILIES TRAVELED FROM WITHIN PENNSYLVANIA. THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF STAY WAS 9.2 DAYS, WITH THE LONGEST LENGTH OF STAY FOR ONE FAMILY TOTALING 264 CONSECUTIVE DAYS. WHILE WE SERVE FAMILIES WHOSE CHILDREN ARE BEING TREATED FOR AN ARRAY OF ILLNESSES, THE TOP DEPARTMENTS IN 2015 WERE ORTHOPEDICS, ONCOLOGY, CARDIOLOGY, AND NEONATOLOGY. EACH YEAR, OUR HOSPITAL PARTNERS INCLUDE THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF PHILADELPHIA, ST. CHRISTOPHER'S HOSPITAL FOR CHILDREN, SHRINERS HOSPITAL, WILLS EYE HOSPITAL, THE HOSPITAL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA, AND OTHERS. VOLUNTEERS ARE TRULY THE HEART OF OUR HOUSES AND WE RELY ON THE DEDICATED SERVICE OF OUR MORE THAN 335 VOLUNTEERS TO CREATE A HOME FOR THE FAMILIES WE SERVE. VOLUNTEERS STAFF OUR FRONT DESK, CHECK IN FAMILIES, DRIVE OUR SHUTTLE VANS, AND SUPPORT OUR OPERATIONS IN A VARIETY OF OTHER CAPACITIES. IN 2015, VOLUNTEERS CONTRIBUTED 29,328 HOURS OF THEIR TIME, REPRESENTING THE EQUIVALENT OF 14.1 FULL-TIME STAFF POSITIONS. 268727 7950 CAMP PROGRAM - EVERY AUGUST, OUR ONE-WEEK RONALD MCDONALD CAMP ENABLES CHILDREN WITH CANCER AND THEIR SIBLINGS TO EXPERIENCE THE JOYS OF SUMMER CAMP. CREATED BY PHILADELPHIA RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE CO-FOUNDER DR. AUDREY E.
