Meet Ayla

Ayla desperately needed life-saving treatment in a hospital over four hours from her hometown after being diagnosed with childhood cancer, Neuroblastoma.

Her family have called Ronald McDonald House their home for over 365 days. Here they had a place full of warmth and comfort, surrounded by the caring community at the House which provides an invaluable support system.

“It feels like family. Everyone is with us on the good days and the bad days, they cried with us and laughed with us.” – Ayla’s mum, Beatrice
