A hospital can be a lonely place to heal, especially when loved ones are far away. But this is often the case for many of our nation’s veterans and service members whose families can’t afford airfare or long stays in hotels. The Fisher House Foundation aims to change that.

Founded in 1991, this organization builds beautiful, comfortable homes at major military bases and VA medical centers throughout the U.S. and Europe. The homes are donated to the military and Department of Veterans Affairs, allowing families to stay near their service members, worry-free.
