When a child is seriously ill or injured, the lives of their loved ones can change in an instant. For many families, travelling far from home for treatment creates additional stress at an already difficult time. Ronald McDonald House Charities Sydney provides a vital service by giving families a place to stay close to the hospital, helping them remain together when it matters most.
At Livingstone, we believe in supporting causes that create meaningful and lasting impact. That is why the Livingstone Foundation has made an early donation to Ronald McDonald House Charities Sydney’s Gift a Night initiative, which helps cover the cost of accommodation, meals and essential care for families with a child in hospital.
We are also proud to support RMHC Sydney as a Matched Giving Partner in their upcoming 48-Hour Gift a Night Appeal. From 12 pm Wednesday, 13 August, to 12 pm Friday, 15 August, all donations made will be matched. This means every contribution will have double the impact for families in need.
Why This Matters
The Gift a Night initiative provides more than just a place to sleep. It offers comfort, community and support for families facing medical challenges. Whether it is one night or several months, the service helps ease the emotional and financial burden of living away from home and ensures that parents can stay close to their child throughout treatment.
At Livingstone, we understand the importance of family, community and care. The Livingstone Foundation reflects these values by supporting organisations that make a tangible difference. By contributing early and participating as a matched giving partner, we hope to encourage our entire Livingstone family to get involved.
How You Can Get Involved
Although the donation link is not live yet, we are encouraging our community to save the date. The 48-Hour Gift a Night Appeal is a powerful opportunity to multiply your impact. Every dollar donated during this window will be doubled and go directly toward providing practical, emotional and financial support to families during their most difficult moments.
Stay tuned for the launch of the donation link on Wednesday, 13 August.
Together, we can gift a night and give families what they need most, the ability to stay together.
