Military Families Express Heartfelt Appreciation

I’m overwhelmed by the impeccable service…this has been one of the most beautiful experiences under the circumstances for my Dad’s medical problems…grateful doesn’t cover how I feel and blessed.

 

This our first time at the Fisher House—how amazing it is! ...thank you for providing comfort when we’re feeling most uncertain of what our future holds…after long days at the hospital it’s so nice to find fellowship upon return “home.”

 

Back again..so nice to know the Fisher House and staff are here for us. Especially when there is so much unknown in the future of my husband’s health…you provide for us at a time when we are dealing with issues that sometimes overwhelm us.

 

The staff didn’t act like staff. They treated us like family. I thought it would be like living in barracks. Wow, was I wrong! I’m grateful to Fisher House..found a new charity that is near and dear to my heart.

 

This stay helped so much! God blessed me by allowing us to stay in the Fisher House which gives peace in this timed of need.

 

After being here 32 days, we are going home…Fisher House is a lifesaver..what a beautiful place! Thankful for everyone who touched our lives.

sign2nd Country Western Benefit Nets Sold-Out VIP Section at Joe's Bar

Popular Country Western Headliner Easton Corbin Joined Supporters/Fans for Meet & Greet Before Rousing Concert

It was a foot-stompin' good time for all when 100 generous Corbin fans donated extra funds to support the FOFH-IL cause at the 2011 Country Western Benefit at Joe's Bar, Illinois. Event Chair Brett Colvin planned a perfect evening for FOFH-IL supporters.

Joe's Bar management generously donated 100 tickets to FOFH-IL with VIP benefits at this bash. Those fans who paid the VIP tab were treated to a private lounge with free appetizers and sodas plus a private cash bar. They also had access to a close-up viewing section of the concert.

Best of all, Corbin paid them a private visit before going onstage.

Thank you Joe's Bar, Easton Corbin and the 100 fans who supported our mission. Watch for the announcement of the 2012 Country Western Benefit.
