Today is “Blue Mac Day.”
Mac is McDonald’s, but it’s a blue Mac day to raise awareness of donations to the Donald McDonald’s House Foundation.
Donald McDonald House
The Donald McDonald House is a facility set up near a hospital for children who are forced to stay in the long-term hospital, where families of children can sleep.
The usage fee is 1000yen per person per day.
The National Center for Child Health and Development in Setagaya-ku, Tokyo also has the Donald McDonald House. In Setagaya Ward, there are few hotels, and if you look at it as far as you can go without changing by bus from the hospital, it is Futako-Tamagawa Excel Hotel Tokyu and Tokyu Stay Yoga . It is necessary to expect 20 to 30 minutes on the one-way way, and the cost is 1.5K yen to 20000yen.
The National Cardiovascular Research Center, where I worked, also had a Donald McDonald House, but if you want to find a hotel, you need to take a bus.
Call for donations in Kyoto
Next, we plan to open Donald McDonald’s House Kyoto in a location with good access to Kyoto University Hospital and Kyoto Prefectural University Hospital.
The land will be provided free of charge by the Shinshu Otani school, so it is planned to cover the construction cost of eight billion yen by donation.
Special Site
There is a special website for Blue Mac Day.
Help the patient with the family.
At our company, we are working to support patients with medical care children.
There are limits to what small businesses can do.
In order to reach out a lot of people, you need people and money.
I hope you can make a national event like Blue Mac Day.
