Ronald McDonald House - Portland, Maine

Marie R.

Our baby was born via emergency c-section at just 31 weeks and spent 2 months in the NICU at Maine Medical Center in Portland.

My fiance and I have 4 other children. He still had to work as much as he could because bills don't just pause when there's a family emergency. That just added another layer to the difficulty of the situation for us but I'll forever be grateful for how kind and helpful the Portland RMH staff was!

I was so apprehensive the first time I set foot in the place but starting with the woman who checked me in the staff went above and beyond to help in any way they could...so by the time my paperwork, etc was done and I followed the staff member to the room they gave us I was already feeling MUCH less anxious and stuff.

I just can't say enough good things about the Portland RMH and the staff there.

My 9 month old and I and sometimes my husband and my mom have been staying here since my son was born for on and off medical appointments and we love it here ! The service and the rooms is just perfect ! So home like and makes you feel so comfortable.

My grandson was born premature and had to be in the nicu. My son and his significant other had stayed here for a couple nights until he was able to come home. What a wonderful place and resource. Everything was and everyone was kind and caring. Thank you so much for all you do!

These people are the most amazing guardian angels we could have ever hoped for. There was no way we could have ever afforded to stay at a hotel while our son is in the NICU, so without RMH, we would have been forced to commute until we couldn't afford to do that either. We are so far beyond grateful, I don't even have words. Thank you, Ronald McDonald House!

P. S.
Gail is a treasure. Hold on to her as long as you can, RMH!

This place is great! They are within walking distance from the hospital. Friendly staff and very clean facilities. It's great for those unexpected visits. My daughter is having her baby and we were expecting to have to stay about 4 to 5 days. They didn't even bat an eye. Incredibly thankful for them!

I took my family on a family vacation to Biddeford Maine in July of this year. During that week my daughter delivered twins that were just over one pound. She stayed at the Ronald McDonald house for four and half months. My wife stayed with her for three months. Thank goodness for this place. It was great! Will and the staff are terrific. Two days ago a truck pulled up to my daughter's house, which by the way is three hours from Portland. The driver drove from Portland Maine to her house with so many gifts, diapers, toys, clothes etc. What a special thing to do and all from the Ronald McDonald house. We will be forever grateful! MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Though I don't wish upon anybody a reason to stay, having the house available while my son was sick in the hospital was truly a blessing. The people running it we're wonderful to interact with. The amenities we're AMAZING, not at all what I expected. The House was a home away from home.

Been here almost 5 months and still going. This place is a amazing, safe, friendly home away from home. We went home for a few days and we actually started missing Ronald Mcdonald house plus all the wonderful people that volunteer Rita, Will, shanna, Gail, Annie and so many more. They made sure we had holidays and felt all the love that this house gives. If you are offered to stay here and having second thoughts go take a walk thru i promise you will change your mind and stay. Can't wait to be able to take baby home. And on my way out i will be leaving a volunteer application. If your looking to volunteer cleaning, answering phones, Guest Chef, Give will a call or look online for the application.
