NEED FOR PROJECT

Military and veterans, and their families, have no home/lodging facility at the local Veterans Administration Medical Center. A Fisher House is a “home away from home” for military and veterans’ families to be close to a loved one during hospitalization for an illness, disease or injury. Currently, Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans from 23 different states are traveling to the M

ilwaukee VA medical center for treatment of their wounds and injuries. Veterans and their families living beyond 50-miles from the Milwaukee VA hospital are eligible to stay for free at the Fisher House if they need to overnight. The Fisher House program recognizes the special sacrifices of our men and women in uniform and ensures that they are provided with the comforts of home in a supportive environment.

Not all wounds are visible.

June is PTSD Awareness Month. General data shows about 30% of OIF/OEF era Veterans are diagnosed, 21% Desert Storm era, 30% Vietnam era and our greatest generation of Korean War and WWII Veterans have surely experienced trauma.

We want to remind our veterans, service members, and their families that they are not alone. PTSD surely affects combat Veterans; however, they are not alone as MST survivors, training accidents, first responders, Coast Guard, and and many other scenarios cause this life altering diagnosis.

Healing takes time and SUPPORT. At Fisher House Wisconsin, we understand that treating invisible wounds often requires the comfort and support of family nearby. We are proud to provide a "home away from home" so loved ones can stay together during treatment.

If you or a veteran in your life is in crisis, support is always available 24/7. Dial 988 and press 1, or text 838255.

Presidents Post:

As Memorial Day passed, the memories of those we have lost continue. Yesterday at the State Capitol, each branch of service was represented in a rose laying ceremony. As the Marine Corps rep, I reflected on those teammates I lost on deployment.

As the day passed, I sat with the thought of those who came home and lost the war there. Having lived through survivors guilt and the weight of war and loss, I decided long ago that despite how much I wanted to trade places, they never would and the only thing to do is not squander their priceless sacrifice by not living fully.

As you all endure your losses, remember your loved one fondly and to live your best life honoring their gift. Asking for help, finding new teammates to share the weight you carry, and to learn how to move forward breathing peacefully are not abandonment of your fallen comrades, it is rising to live how they would want you to in their place.

Be well and God bless.

Yesterday, one of our longtime volunteers at the Milwaukee VA Fisher House had the honor of representing Fisher House Wisconsin during the Milwaukee VA Memorial Day Wreath Placement Ceremony.

Kathy, along with all of our incredible volunteers, plays a vital role in our mission and in the care we provide to military and veteran families staying at the house. From preparing meals and welcoming guests to offering comfort and support during difficult moments, their dedication helps make the Fisher House feel like home.

We are deeply grateful for Kathy’s continued service and for every volunteer who gives their time, compassion, and heart to support our families and honor those who have served.
