The Story of Amschwand House

Amschwand House was originally opened by Missy Amschwand Bellinger, founder of A Shelter for Cancer Families, to fulfill her late husband Tom’s wish to provide housing for patients undergoing treatment.
In early 2025, A Shelter for Cancer Families partnered with RMHC Greater Houston to combine resources and continue this legacy of compassion under Ronald McDonald House management. The property was renamed Amschwand House in honor of Tom and his enduring wish to offer comfort and support to families facing a medical crisis. 

Give the gift of togetherness.

We believe families are stronger when they battle a medical crisis together. With your help we can keep family members close to each other, and steps from their child’s medical treatment.
