Fisher House


Tonight Sean and I had the opportunity to go to one of the original Fisher Houses. The Fisher House is a non-profit organization that provides housing for family of military personnel who are injured and in the hospital. We were at Lackland Air Force Base right here in San Antonio, and this is where the program started. As of today, there are 38 houses across the United States, but this is the only one that does not charge the families to stay here. It runs strictly on volunteers. Sean's company is always looking for ways to serve and give to the community, so through his company, we were able to take part in serving dinner to these wonderful people and visit with them. There is a pic of some co-workers of Sean's, and the other picture is Virgil and Betty. We ate with them tonight. She is going through radiation therapy for breast cancer. They have been married for 50 years and have 6 children, 9 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. They are a wonderful couple and were very grateful for our service tonight. What a wonderful place this is!
