Ronald McDonald House — Local services in Nashville-Davidson

We stayed here for 3 days for my son's bone marrow transplant evaluation. The people are extremely nice and the downstairs is also very nice. But we ended up deciding that we couldn't stay at Ronald McDonald during my son's actual transplant that would take a few months because they don't have Internet access, which is odd to me. Our data on our phones will run out if we have to use it consistently so we are going to be staying at a different place. The TV in the room wasn't hooked up to anything so there's no cable in the bedroom either. The only other complaint we had was that our room was sooo hot! And we had no control over the thermostat because we found out only certain rooms have temp control, and if you don't get the room with thermostat control, there's nothing you can do about it. It was 75 degrees (that's hot to us) in our room with 3 of us trying to sleep and we were all miserable.

They really care about your comfort here. My partner and I wanted to cry when coming in because of the generosity of the staff and the many people who have donated endlessly to people like us who have a little one in the hospital. It puts a whole new perspective on life being here and I know it makes me want to do so much more to give back to those who helped me in one of my...

Thank you for allowing me to breathe air, today. I was bitten by a snake (cottonmouth?) and had to be driven via ambulance from Humboldt, TN to Vanderbilt University Hospital for treatment. This treatment made it so that my mother, my brother and myself had to drive all that way, back-and-forth (we were unable to pay for lodging).

We were directed to the Ronald McDonald House by the United Methodist Church (to whom I owe much love). The RMcD House provided me and mine a place to stay while I received my life-saving treatment.

I owe the Ronald McDonald House, Vanderbilt University and the United Methodist Church of Humboldt, TN and one of their members, whom I only recall as Mr. Forsythe (my 5th grade teacher in Humboldt) my...
