Our Story
Fisher House Foundation donates "comfort homes," built on the grounds of major military and VA medical centers. These homes enable family members to be close to a loved one at the most stressful times - during hospitalization for an unexpected illness, disease, or injury.
Our home was dedicated on June 6, 2006. As of September 2018, we have been home to 1122 families, providing over 10,000 nights of lodging, with an average stay of 9 days. This equates to an estimated savings of $1,151,955 to our guest families. Over 60% of these families were here due to deployment related injuries & illness, while 9% were here to support a retiree or veteran family member. With a staff of only 2, weβve relied on our volunteers. They have logged nearly 18,000 hours - the key word being βloggedβ, as many of them donβt keep track. ;)
Thank you to everyone that has been part of our story!
