Thought I'd add a little information on the Ronald McDonald House.
The Ronald McDonald House of Cleveland offers a place to call home at little or no cost so families can access the best health care, regardless of their location. We allow families to stay together, which can help their children heal faster and cope better.

Our House enables families to focus on the health of their child rather than anything else – like paying bills, cooking meals, cleaning the House. We preserve a sense of normalcy with home-cooked meals, comfortable beds and recreational activities for the family to enjoy. Most importantly, we help families create connections with other families, staff and volunteers. In doing this, families have a support system to turn to during the most stressful moments of their lives.
Here's a link to check it out:About Us | Ronald McDonald House of Cleveland
