August 2021 Fisher House News
from our House to Yours
August 10 - Dear Fisher House
"We are grateful to the Fisher House for hosting our family. We travelled from Austin, TX for my son and I to receive hyperbaric treatment from Dr. Zant and it was highly successful. The gracious staff and lovely house allowed our family to focus on healing. We also enjoyed visiting with other guests that we met during our stay. We will pray for healing for all of the families at the Fisher House."
Why it Matters - July 23 our home was 100% occupied with a family placed in a partner hotel
"Thank you Fisher House for providing an invaluable service for those of us who need significant medical treatment."
Delivered Meals at the House are needed
This family was one of the first to stay in October 2010. They have a few repeated stays and we are so pleased this house exists for them.
Meals may also be purchased from restaurant to feed 8 - 12 folks providing comfort to the families staying with us for hope and healing. Currently, base access required due to installation restricted access. Sign up here.
