Fisher House Wisconsin A Fisher House is “a home away from home” for families of patients receiving medical care at the VA. https://linktr.ee/fisherhousewi

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 Milwaukee 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.

Zach and Elizabeth are decked out and ready to cheer on our Milwaukee Brewers tonight!

As we root for our hometown team, we also want to give a special shoutout to Brewers Community Foundation, whose incredible generosity has provided over $450,000 in support of Fisher House Wisconsin and the military and veteran families we serve over the years.

We're proud to have such an amazing community partner both on and off the field!

From all of us at Fisher House Wisconsin, let's bring home a win tonight!

For 251 years, U.S. Navy Sailors have answered the call to serve our nation.

Today, we honor their service and the sacrifices that have meant so much to generations of Navy families. To every Sailor, past and present, and to the loved ones who have supported you: thank you for all you’ve given.

Happy 251st Birthday, U.S. Navy!

World Mental Health Day is a reminder that mental health matters and no one should have to face difficult moments alone.

Sometimes, just knowing someone cares can make a hard day feel a little less lonely. A simple check-in can mean more than you realize.

If you or someone you know needs support, call or text 988 to connect with the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

Let’s continue creating communities where asking for help is met with compassion and support.

🍽️ A Home-Cooked Meal Can Make All the Difference! ❤️🏠

When military and veteran families stay at the Milwaukee VA Fisher House, their focus should be on their loved one's care, not worrying about what's for dinner.

That's where our incredible community comes in!

Through our Meal Train program, individuals, families, businesses, and community groups can volunteer to provide meals for the families staying at the Milwaukee VA Fisher House.

Whether you're preparing a favorite family recipe, organizing a meal with coworkers, or ordering dinner from a local restaurant, your generosity helps provide comfort and a little taste of home during a difficult time.

❤️ Want to make a difference? Sign up to provide a meal and help us take one more worry off a family's plate!

What a great partnership all around. Thank you to the Brewers Community Foundation for being a consistent supporter of Fisher House Wisconsin and the Milwaukee- and soon… Madison VA hospitals

Special thanks to the NL Central champion Milwaukee Brewers for their continued generous support of Veterans at the Milwaukee VA and Fisher House. Over this past weekend, the Brewers Community Foundation presented a check from the proceeds of their annual run/walk to the Fisher House Wisconsin and Milwaukee VA leadership.

Over the past several years, the foundation has funded an ongoing campus artwork beautification project, a new gazebo for Veterans at the Spinal Cord Injury/Disorder Center, supported the Fisher House, and purchased the wish list for inpatient Veterans and residents, among other initiatives.

What an incredible day. 💙🇺🇸

Thanks to our golfers, sponsors, donors, volunteers, auction supporters, partners, and friends, the 14th Annual Fisher House Wisconsin Golf Outing raised over $396,000 in total community support for Wisconsin’s military and veteran families!

Every dollar helps us continue supporting families staying at the Milwaukee VA Fisher House while moving closer to an extraordinary goal — building the Madison VA Fisher House and bringing a “home away from home” to families receiving care in south-central Wisconsin.

One of the most meaningful moments of the day came when the Hidalgo family presented an extraordinary $150,000 gift from the 1Lt Daren M. Hidalgo Memorial Foundation in support of the Madison VA Fisher House. Carmen Hidalgo shared the story of her late brother, 1Lt Daren M. Hidalgo, and how their family continues to honor his life and service through the Foundation created in his memory.

To the entire Hidalgo family: thank you for entrusting Fisher House Wisconsin with a part of Daren’s legacy. His memory will continue making a difference for military and veteran families for generations to come. ❤️

We are also incredibly grateful to our leading sponsors:

🏅 Medal of Honor Sponsor: Enterprise Mobility
⭐ Silver Star Sponsors: Baker Tilly and Pieper Electric, Inc.
⭐ Bronze Star Sponsors: Compound Wealth and ProVisor
💜 Purple Heart Sponsors: Community Roofing, The Pauly Nethery Koth Group, Fisher House Foundation, and O’Leary & Anick

And a very special thank you to all of our National Defense Service Medal Sponsors and every organization that helped make this year’s outing possible.

To everyone who golfed, donated an auction item, purchased a Ball Drop, bid in our auctions, raised your hand to support the mission, volunteered, sponsored, or simply helped spread the word — thank you.

It takes a community to build and support a Fisher House, and we are incredibly proud to have you as part of ours.

Because a family’s love is good medicine. 🇺🇸💙
