About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when Ronald McDonald House usually hummed with quiet activity, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: a small bird had built its nest in one of the mailboxes outside. The delivery driver gently removed the nest and placed it on a nearby tree branch. From then on, whenever anyone entered or left the house, they would see a little bird family waving cheerfully from their new home. It became a charming sight for everyone who visited, turning what was once just another anonymous clinic into a place filled with warmth and whimsy.
2. Late one night, as Ronald McDonald House settled into sleep, a delivery driver noticed something strange. A small shadow darted across the hallway, disappearing behind a door marked ‘staff only.’ Curious, he followed it and found himself in a dimly lit room filled with toys—none of which belonged there. The delivery driver smiled, picked up a toy fire truck, and called out, ‘Hey, who left this here?’ No answer came except for the sound of giggling shadows. Deciding to have some fun, he placed the truck back and quietly exited, leaving the mystery unsolved. From then on, whenever anyone asked about the missing toys, they’d just shrug and say, ‘Probably another late-night visit from Ronald’s little helper!’
3. Late one night, as Ronald McDonald House settled into sleep, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the loading bay—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious, he picked up the box and carried it inside. In the morning, everyone found out it was just an old cardboard dummy from a local costume party. A neighbor had accidentally left it there after a Halloween celebration. The staff laughed it off, but for weeks afterward, whenever someone mentioned ghosts, they’d tease each other with, ‘Did you hear about that spooky package?’
4. Late one night, as Ronald McDonald House settled into sleep, a delivery driver noticed an unusual message scrawled on the wall in marker: ‘If you’re not sick, leave your room light off.’ Curious, he checked the hallway and saw that every occupied room had its light glowing softly. The delivery driver grinned. Figuring it was some late-night prank, he quietly left the note: 'If you're not tired, close your door.' Soon enough, the whole house was abuzz with anonymous notes—'If you're not hungry, skip breakfast,' 'If you're not bored, turn off your TV'—until finally someone wrote, 'If you're not asleep, stop reading these messages!'
