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.

U.S. Secret Service Chicago Field Office Contributes $10,000 Raised by 2014 Operation Shining Star Charity Golf Event

This annual benefit supports Friends of Fisher House-Illinois and the 100 Club of Chicago.

FOFH-IL Board and Directors extend heartfelt thanks to the United States Secret Service, Chicago Field Office Operation Shining Star for its enthusiastic assistance and generosity every year. Major efforts like this event continue to ensure year-round free lodging with meals for 3,600 military families to date.

As always, the spring 2014 Golf Outing and Silent Auction was a well-organized sold-out fundraiser.  Our hard working, enthusiastic Secret Service friends working side-by-side with some 20 Friends of Fisher House-Illinois volunteers made this occasion a highlight of our year.

We are thrilled and honored to have three Chicago agents strongly involved in spearheading fundraising efforts with great zeal.

FOFH-IL looks forward to the 2015 Operation Shining Star Charity golf Outing already in the works.
