RMH Document Translation
Application Deadline
Project start
Project end
Ronald McDonald welcomes families from all over the world seeking treatment for their seriously ill children. Many of these families are most comfortable speaking in their native language. RMH has two documents that every guest checking in is required to read and sign, a guest contract and a welcome packet. These are now only available in English and Spanish, and we would like to make them available in more languages.
We need help either having the documents translated by a native speaker, or using a new version of translation software that would do the translation in advance that we could store in digital form. We would like to add Mandarin, Hindi and Arabic. The documents together are 5-7 pages in length total.
Built with love, Ronald McDonald House offers a comforting home away from home and a community of support for seriously ill children and their families. The House supports families of chronically ill children through hospitality (lodging & meals) as well as through social and emotional support programs. Parents and caregivers are better able to be present for their children's treatment, improving children's medical outcomes. In some cases families would not seek life saving care at Duke without Ronald McDonald House because it is simply not possible to live in a car or waiting room with patient siblings and other family, without access to affordable food, for extended periods of time.
