Houston Newsmakers May 28: Fisher House Military Appreciation
Khambrel MarshallPosted: 1:53 PM, May 26, 2017
The Fisher House Foundation has opened a third Fisher House in Houston at the DeBakey VA Medical Center.
It is the 72nd such house in the world and is unique in how it provides for the families of injured active military or veterans. Frank Kelley is the manager of all three Houston facilities.
“The main criteria is that the veteran or active duty military person needs to be actually in the hospital themselves, and then their family members can stay in the Fisher House for an indefinite period of time,” Kelley said. “If the person is in the hospital, we take care of the family.”
Bob Scruggs is a board member of the Fisher House Friends of Houston and says their goal is to add quality to the lives of the families during their stay, and is asking Houston restaurants to make food commitments.
“We want to provide a whole lot more meals, and we know from other Fisher Houses that have had non-profits in operation for much longer than we have that that’s a doable thing,” Scruggs said.
