About the Work

The mission of Ronald McDonald House Charities is to create and support initiatives that have a positive impact on the well-being of sick children, their families and loved ones. In Sweden there are five RM Houses close to specialist care for children with difficult diagnoses. Each year, approximately 4,000 families live at the five Houses in Sweden. Many of them stay for long periods of treatment. Socializing and playing with other children in the same situation is important for the children's well-being. There are playrooms at the Houses, but due to the risk of infection and changed play habits, they are not used as frequently as before. Many children also lack the energy for physical play after tough treatments and operations. Several are bedridden or in need of a wheelchair for periods of time.

In November 2022, Sweden's sixth official Ronald McDonald House was inaugurated - on the game platform Roblox. A virtual playroom that children who have stayed at the Houses IRL helped to design - and which is only available to other children in the same situation and the friends they choose to invite. The House in Roblox makes it possible for children staying at all five houses in Sweden to meet and play. The game world will be regularly updated during 2023 with new mini games and events based on the wishes of the kids staying at the Houses now. Soon, the House in Roblox will become accessible to all children staying at Ronald McDonald Houses all over the world – connecting seriously ill children from over 60 countries.
