STATE REGENT'S PROJECT -- FISHER HOUSES IN TEXAS
ARMY: PROUD MEMBER OF THE FISHER HOUSE FAMILY. "Providing comfort, caring and compassion...beyond the call of duty". Since 1990 Fisher Houses have been serving military families during times of medical crisis. These comfort homes are built by the Fisher House Foundation, Inc., and given as gifts to the Military Services and the Department of Veterans affairs. The Army is the proud recipient of 17 of the 46 existing Houses that serve service men and women around the world.
The Fisher House Foundation was established by noted philanthropist and patriot Zachary Fisher and his wife Elizabeth. He passed away in 1999 but family members continue to build Fisher Houses and carry on Zachary's legacy of helping military men and women and their families.
Fisher House! Within walking distance from the hospital is a comfortable temporary home, filled with warm, caring people who help family members endure the stresses associated with a loved one's serious medical condition. The Fisher House enables families to stay together, cook meals, do laundry, and relax in a "home away from home" atmosphere. There are no other facilities on military installations which provide this caring, compassionate environment. While we all wish there were no need for Fisher House, the reality of life is that thousands of active duty and retired military and veterans' families are served each year by this wonderful network of beautiful homes! Fisher House - a gift of love!
