Words from our Guests
"For about 9 weeks, we have thoroughly enjoyed this miracle known worldwide as "Fisher House." It's an excellent place to heal and find new friends. One cannot find a more capable and caring staff than Marc, Don, John and Judy. We feel very blessed that all this came together after not being on an Air Force Base for 54 years."

"God led us to the Fisher House when we were in need and what a blessing it has been. I will always remember the kind, caring staff. We couldn't have asked for a better, more beautiful place to stay. I hope that Zachary and Elizabeth Fisher can see how many families they have helped. What an amazing legacy. Thanks to all of you!"  Here is the rest of the story. ...
