A wonderful thing, Fisher House in Clark County, WA

I have a personal stake in this because a family member of mine is in the VA hospital over the past ten years, multiple times for some very serious things. So when I read this article over at the Oregonian. (src: Fisher House ) I sure was happy for those that might have to come from other areas of Oregon to seek veteran treatment and the closest place to stay can be prohibitively for family to come see there family members.

This would be some thing akin to a Ronald McDonald House but for veteran's family, who need a place to crash.

It could be in Vancouver or Portland at some point in the future. Vancouver has a history of Army base and Long Term veteran care center here that is linked to the Veteran Administration hospital in Portland, Oregon.

So right now, the Fisher House Foundation and a group of like minded individuals are fund raising. Read the article for more information on this, if you are interested in helping out.
