"I can never thank you enough for what you have provided for me the last three weeks. I always had a place to sleep and clean up, even if I left the hospital at 2am. I will never forget your kindness. I am donating to the Fisher House so that others can have what I did".

n the last quarter of fiscal year 2011 28% of the donations to the VA Puget Sound Fisher House came from families who have stayed at Fisher House.
These are very often small gifts (average $132.00) but they mean so much because they come from the heart, from people who have experienced firsthand the benefits of staying at VA Puget Sound Fisher House. No gift is too small; every gift helps us provide comfort and support to the Veteran and Military families we serve.
How to Make a Gift
Appropriated Congressional funds pay for the basic maintenance of the house and staff salaries. All the programs which directly impact the families staying at Fisher House are provided through donations and volunteer hours. 99.8% of every donated dollar goes to the on-going, daily support of the VA Puget Sound Fisher House.
