Parents of children having treatment at Starship Children's Hospital will have one less thing to worry about thanks to the opening of Ronald McDonald House (RMH) Auckland Trust's newest family accommodation facility, Grafton Mews.
Grafton Mews has 18 rooms including two transplant units, customised disabled rooms, standard rooms, laundries, living areas and a playground. In total the RMH Auckland Trust now has 79 rooms available to referred families, the largest room capacity in Australasia, with a further 20 rooms planned.
The RMH Auckland Trust provides accommodation and support for families from anywhere in New Zealand, whose children have to be in Auckland for treatment at Starship Children's Hospital.
The phase one building of Grafton Mews was made possible with the generous support of donors, corporate partners, community service groups, Ronald McDonald House Charities New Zealand, the A+ Trust and Brookfield Multiplex. Merquip Ltd were very happy to support this worthy cause by donating a Billi Quadra drinking water system for the new kitchen fitout in this project.
