Thank You

The residents and staff of the Fisher Houses would like to thank you for your kind donation. A simple “thank you” seems so inadequate, but it comes from the hearts of a very grateful staff and the family members of BAMC patients who have a temporary home with us while their family member is receiving treatment at the hospital. We appreciate your interest in the Fisher Houses, dedicated to our greatest national treasure—our military men and women and their loved ones. We encourage your continued involvement. Please stop in so we can show you how your gifts are helping our soldiers and their families. Our ability to support others in need is contingent on acts of kindness such as yours. Inge K. Godfrey, Manager

Blood Donors Needed

We have been praying for Amanda Conniff, Jayme Edward’s 14 year old niece. Amanda has had a difficult struggle in her battle against cancer and has needed a great deal of blood. You can donate blood to “replace” the units used by Amanda. Go to any blood donation station and let them know you want to give a replacement donation for Amanda Conniff, a patient at Christus Santa Rosa Children’s hospital. Thanks to those who have already given blood in her name!
