A long-term stay in a military hospital, sometimes thousands of miles from home, can easily lead to expensive lodging and food costs for loved ones

wanting to be close by, and part of the healing process. Through the kindness

of donations received, Fisher House Foundation provides comfort homes, each offering a warm, compassionate environment where families can find support

and encouragement from others in similar circumstances. These custom-built houses are typically between 5,000 and 16,000 square feet, and feature

eight to 21 guest suites each. All are professionally decorated and beautifully furnished.
