FRIENDS OF FISHER HOUSE-ILLINOIS
Invite reviews
This is a wonderful place where people can go when they have no where else to turn. It is supportive of military families in their time of need. We need more caring places like this. If everyone donated a litte bit of their time and/or money, or items in their home, we could help make the Fisher House become more. Spend some time at their web site to learn what they are all about and get involved. http://fofh-il.org/index.html

As retired military, I have seen first-hand how difficult it has been for families to be able to be at the bedside of injuired or ill service men and women as well as our veterans. The respite home that the Fisher House provides to families is greatly needed and appreciated by those wanting to be near their loved ones to help by lending their support for the recovery of their veteran. Friends of Fisher House - Illinois is helping make the Fisher House at Hines VA a reality by ensuring the comfort items for the families staying at the house are provided for beyond the "brick and mortor" of the building. Food, books, toys for children, toiletry items, computers, and the finer details of furnishing the quest rooms has been a great part of FOFH-IL early efforts. Just making the public aware is helping bring in volunteers to help staff the Fisher House during operating hours and helping the families with other needs to relieve them of the worry they often feel when traveling to distance hospitals to be with their loved one receiving treatment.

As a volunteer I became astonished to see people from all walks of life come forward and give of their time and talent. The same goes for the generosity of major companies who come forward with supplies and products to make all those who stay at Hines VA Fisher House feel at home.I'm very proud that Friends of Fisher House has brought in various contributions such as computers for all 20 private bedroom suites and offices, and many needed accessories.

a special Christmas cable TV show for needy military families where the president spoke eloquently about their mission. At another cable TV interview a member and mother of a military service woman shared her experience with this humanitarian program.
