Furniture arrives at Eglin Fisher House

For a birthday celebration, our generous community came together for a party, and brought two new rooms of furniture for our Eglin Fisher House.  Our home opened in 2010, and continues to serve our military families, providing a comfort home during a medical event so they may be together.  Where there is hope, there is healing.  #loveisgoodmedicine

“The Brumit’s love the Fisher House Foundation!!! During the past three years since Tim’s Spinal Cord Injury we have stayed at Fisher Houses across the country for long periods of time and have had nothing less than incredible experiences! Without them I am not sure we would have been able to stay near Tim during many of his 14 Major Surgeries or have the peace we felt staying among other families going through their own hard times. The staff are always leaning forward and there to help if you need them and a step back when you want to be alone. Want a reputable, worthwhile Charity to give to? Fisher House Foundation is one of the few at the very top!!!”

“I am not sure where to begin, but I am completely appreciative of the support of the Fisher House. This month has been unimaginable in both good and bad ways. The Fisher House did more than provide a place for me to stay. The option of staying possibly, more than likely, contributed to saving my life. So thank you for providing a safe place for me to stay and providing other necessities as well. I enjoyed meeting all staff and guests. I send what you gave to me, warm hugs and good vibes. Thank you so much.”
