Fisher House Fundraiser
Shop for a Cause!
The Fisher House is where the families of our heroes can stay while their loved ones are being treated at LRMC. Many times, these families lose their second source of income when the spouses of the wounded service members leave their home stations to head over here to be closer to their husbands and wives in their times of need. This drop in income makes purchasing necessities incredibly difficult when they are still trying to maintain their homes for the eventual homecoming of their recovering warriors. The Fisher House eases some of the burden by providing a home away from home as well as small but necessary items such as toiletries and books and toys for the children.
At first I thought nothing of the boxes at the commissary with wish lists pasted to the front. However, in the past few days I've really been bothered by them. Why is this organization having to ask for these items? Have we forgotten about the wounded and their families?
The news coverage of what is happening in Afghanistan and other combat zones is dwindling, but we still have heroes that need our support.
I want to help. Do you want to join me?
I'm Giving It ALL Away!
ALL OF IT!
Make a purchase before you go to bed on Monday night and you'll be donating to a great cause AND earning Dot Dollars to spend in July. You'll also be eligible to snag some of our best sellers at 50% off. That's like getting paid to donate. Win-win!
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you have. I'll be more than happy to help you!
My goal is to raise a minimum of $500. It's not much when you consider just how many families are in need, but every bit helps, and every gesture sparks the desire to help in someone else.
Have a wonderful Independence Day, and please remember those who have sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy.
Best,
Megan
