Why Are We Doing This?
We are passionate about, and committed to supporting our nation’s promise and obligation to support those who have sacrificed for our country’s freedom and our security.
We believe we owe more to our veterans, our active military, and to their families, who can’t afford the cost of lodging to be near their loved ones during their times of need – which can be for days, weeks, even months.

Veteran’s Family Experience at Fisher House Long Beach
Lee Madden
Lee, in Australia, received a late-night call from a VA social worker in Long Beach, California who shared that her veteran brother Mark’s dementia was advanced and that she needed to come and help with Mark’s care and affairs. Soon.
She quickly arranged for an emergency leave from her job, packed, and bought a ticket for the first flight she could get.
Throughout her 23-hour flight, she wondered where she would stay. Where would she eat? Who would provide the legal, financial and respite care her brother needed? She worried about the enormous tasks ahead of her and the costs involved.
