August 10 Words from Guests

“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.”
