Giving the best gift of all.
When a child is diagnosed with an illness or injury, it can have a devastating impact on families. For those who don’t live close to the care their child needs, the added strain of leaving behind their homes, jobs, schools, and community can feel overwhelming.
Including a gift in your Will is a powerful way to help ease this burden for families now, and into the future.
Once you have taken care of your loved ones, a gift to Ronald McDonald House South East Queensland will provide a safe, supportive place to stay close to the medical care their child needs. Even a gift equal to 1% of your Estate can help us keep our doors open 365 days a year, ensuring families stay strong, connected, and close throughout their child’s healthcare journey.
Your gift will help ensure support and care for more families with an ill or injured child during one of the most difficult times of their lives.
When you include a gift to Ronald McDonald House South East Queensland in your Will, the following suggested wording is recommended:
Irrespective of whether you make a specific monetary gift or a residuary gift, after you make the gift in the Will, you should also include the following declaration:
“In relation to that gift, I declare that a general charitable intent applies. A receipt signed by a person authorised by Ronald McDonald House South East Queensland Limited shall constitute a full and sufficient discharge to my Executor(s) of this Will, and will be evidence that the Executor(s) has discharged his/her/their duties in accordance with this clause”
If you’re interested in pledging a gift in your Will, you can do through EveryWill, Australia’s most trusted online Will platform. Even if you’re not ready to leave a gift just yet, you can still take care of your Will for free – with unlimited updates for life!
