One Dad’s Mission is the extraordinary journey of a father and a family whose unconditional love for their daughter, Hailey, propelled them through an unfathomable health crisis.  It all began on July 5, 2013 at 8:15am, a day etched in their memories when Hailey, their vibrant daughter, suddenly stopped speaking. What followed was a tumultuous odyssey marked by numerous challenges and unforeseen twists, testing the resilience of the family to its limits.

Our Story

“I am embarking on a cross-country bike ride spanning 4,600 miles from California to Pennsylvania stopping at 26 houses along the route. Ronald McDonald House® stands as a beacon of hope and support for families grappling with the profound challenges of having a sick child. Throughout our harrowing ordeal, it was the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House® that provided essential assistance and solace to our family.”  – Jeff Bekos, Dad and Founder

Why Ronald McDonald House Programs?

Ronald McDonald House Charities® provides a beacon of support and solace for families facing the daunting challenges of caring for a sick child through their programs and services. Beyond offering accommodation, the Ronald McDonald House extends a lifeline of compassion and practical assistance, alleviating the profound financial strain that often accompanies medical crises. This support enabled the Bekos family to focus their energy where it mattered most: on the well-being of Hailey.

“Our story serves as a reminder of the power of generosity and compassion. My family’s gratitude extends not only to the generous donors whose contributions make the RMHC mission possible but also to the dedicated staff and volunteers who work tirelessly to ensure that families find solace and support in our darkest hours.  ” – Hailey Bekos, Jeff’s Daughter and Survivor
