Inspiring Bravery, One Book at a Time
At Brave Like Me Foundation, we believe that the power of stories can ignite courage and spark joy in children facing complex medical conditions. Brayden’s Books is a giving program that provides carefully selected books to children and their caregivers at Ronald McDonald Houses and hospitals across the country.
These books aren’t just stories—they’re gifts of hope, bravery, and strength that children can take with them, keeping a piece of inspiration close wherever they go.
How the Program Works
Brayden’s Books partners with Ronald McDonald Houses and children's hospitals to provide a stocked collection of inspiring books. Our goal is simple: every child receives a book they can keep forever that will inspire them to be brave, believe in themselves and build compassion and friendship.
Brayden’s Books is proud to serve the following locations:
• Ronald McDonald House Greater Cincinnati
• Ronald McDonald House Northeast Ohio (Cleveland & Akron)
• St. Mary’s Healthcare System for Children (New York)
• Ronald McDonald House of CT and Western MA
• Ronald McDonald house of Central Indiana (Indianapolis)
