The Fisher House, which will be built at the VA Medical Center at Jefferson Barracks in St. Louis, will be available to military members who are wounded or injured and are undergoing extensive medical treatment. It will provide warm, caring, comfortable, and convenient lodging for family members at no charge. This allows each family constant access to their loved one to help in the healing process.

The St. Louis VA Medical Center has been designated as a “Polytrauma Center” for treating Veterans wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Center provides treatment for Veterans suffering from single or multiple traumas and specialized care for traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, advanced prosthetics, and mental health.

Family members want to stay with their loved ones during treatment, but few can afford extended stays in commercial lodgings. That’s when Fisher House will provide free housing for the family members.

Our state project will raise funds for the children's playroom or the playground at Fisher House in St. Louis.

M.S.S.C.A.R. will contribute to Fisher House and we have some great items for which you can purchase opportunities. So far Ciara has raised $3600 and has collected over 400 books for her State President's Project. By working together we can raise a lot more!!

If you would like to contribute funds to our project, please contact our Sr. State Treasurer, M.S.S.C.A.R. or Donate directly to our Fisher House St. Louis project online.
