The Friends of VA Puget Sound Fisher House are unique in the non-profit community. We don't create the programs that serve the Veteran and military families. That inspiration comes from the staff and volunteers. All we have to do is say 'yes' when they present a new, brilliant idea. And we are able to say 'yes'. A lot. But our 'yes' is only possible because our donors said 'yes' first. YOU give us the resources to meet needs, build gardens, replace appliances, fund creative programs. Whenever a guest says 'thank you' for donuts or a much needed massage they are thanking you. Whenever someone is grateful to not have to worry about grocery shopping or starts to cry during a pedicure because she's forgotten how important it is to take care of herself, all the thanks goes to you.
Do you know how amazing you are? Do you realize that by saying 'yes' to Fisher House you are changing the circumstances of the guests in ways that will last a lifetime? The financial support you offer makes it possible to meet their material needs, lift their physical burdens and help them relax from day-to-day cares so they can focus on the reason they are here: caring for their patient. But more than all that, your 'yes' to these families offers them much needed encouragement and comfort. They might be far from home, they might be worried about their patient. But they are not alone. You are right alongside them.
Thank you for saying 'yes' to these families. 2015 is off to an amazing start.
