“Mac House congratulations on 25 years… it’s been a god send and is vital for many families with children who have been or are at Alder Hey. You have helped so many families and children. Including mine. Forever thankful.”

Andy Marshall

 

“Proud & grateful to be one of the 32,000 families Mac House has helped over the past 25 years. It truly is ‘the house that love built.”

Fiona Ruddy

 

“We stayed with you for 22 days when our daughter was transferred to Alder Hey aged 1 day for heart surgery. Tragically she died but we’ll forever be grateful that thanks to you we never had to be far from her side. You gave us more time & memories with her. Thank you.”

“Forever grateful to have stayed at Mac House when my boy was ill. A little calm haven away from the ward. There was friendship and a refuge.”

Daphne Cain

 

“In 2013 our son was born and transferred to Alder Hey where he spent the first 4 months of his life. We had never heard of Mac House until that day. With our home being 100 miles away Mac House turned into our home from home.”

Robert Madigan

 

“Thank you so much for the support you gave us during my daughter Alice’s open heart surgery your service seriously helped me cope and stay as close as possible to my daughter.”

Charlie Spiers

 

“Thankyou for putting me and my husband up for the last week while our son is in hospital following spinal surgery. You have been our lifeline both this year and in 2013 when he was in ICU for 9 days. Thanks for all you do, Mac House.”

Charlotte Roberts

 

“Thank you so much for the home you gave us for 6 months whilst Thomas was in ICU. It kept our family together and gave us valuable family time with his big brother Henry whilst allowing us to be nearby for Thomas at all times. I don’t even know how we would have managed as a family without Mac house. Truly an amazing place.”

Emma Garner

 

We stayed at Mac House for 2 and half months and spent Christmas there in 2001. Although our daughter never came home with us, I will be forever grateful for the people who gave up their Christmas to care for us and all the other families 🤗

Made being away from home a little easier. We still visit occasionally as my daughters name is proudly displayed on the tree of life. Much love to you all.”
