New Veteran-Owned Bakery
A Marine infantry veteran and his wife have opened a Boyertown, Pennsylvania bakery that specializes in cheesecakes and donates 22% of the bakery proceeds to causes that aid veterans. The charity that they support changes each quarter and, for three months in 2021, they supported Fisher House Foundation.

I was so lucky to be involved with this amazing home: QEHBC (Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham Charity) had the vision and so many raised funds: from its first day of opening my team, Patrick, Julie and Phil and the amazing housekeepers provided a beautiful home for our veterans and their families. — @mandi62703422

“Can't say enough good about this organization; they have helped a tremendous number of people, in so many ways, helping to hold families together through overwhelmingly difficult times; Heroes serving Heroes, in my opinion!” — Chuck Wilder
“I stayed at the West Palm Beach, FL Fisher House as my father was dying from lung cancer… The day he died, the people who had also been staying in the house gave my mother, husband, and I such an outpouring of love and support. I will forever be grateful for the Fisher House as it allowed me to be with my dad when he died.” — Rebecca Harper
“Stayed there in 2011 to be close to my twins that were in the NICU instead of spending precious time driving back and forth from Northern Virginia.” — Kate Theissen
“Thanks so much, quilters. I received a lap quilt from West Roxbury Fisher House. It hangs on my bedroom wall as a reminder of my late husband and how blessed I was to be able to stay at Fisher House.” — Sandra Thornton
“We spent over 200 nights at the Seattle Fisher House from late 2012 to mid-2014 throughout my dad's cancer battle. Such a blessing, especially for my mom. She could come and go to his room as needed AND have a safe, comfortable place to sleep when needed, not to mention a big hug from any number of staff who got to know her. They treated me, my hubby and kids as family too. On our last trip there, we were in a rush. Dad was in ICU, on life support only so we could come say our goodbye. I forgot stuff for my kids, water bottles, coloring books, something to keep them busy for a few minutes. Bring in the Fisher House staff. We were given a pack of really nice reusable water bottles. Each kiddo got a backpack full of activities and they got to pick out a toy each! No to mention the Fisher House teddy bear we received on nearly every trip to complete our collection and document our journey. The Fisher House saved my family in so many ways but most importantly, they made sure my dad's dying wish came true. All he wanted was to hold my mom’s hand and snuggle her as he passed. Because she was able to be there with him day in and day out, his dream came true. Today, my parents are reunited in heaven, and I know in the year since my mom left to go be with my dad, they haven't stopped holding hands. THANK YOU, Fisher House Foundation!” — Marcy Goodman
