ELIZABETH WILLIAMSON
Fisher House Michigan Ambassador

Over the past few years, I have been privileged to be an Outreach Volunteer for Fisher House Michigan. I enjoy connecting directly with our Veteran Community and listening to their needs and concerns. With great satisfaction, I have participated in various events across the state, sharing the FHM Story and opportunities with our Veterans. Communicating the services available and showing our support have been the best rewards one could ever receive as a volunteer.

Many times the Veterans, across the numerous military campaigns around the world, have told me, "I wish FHM had been available when I came home". They are both grateful and impressed with the variety of support services provided. There is no greater satisfaction than connecting directly with our Veterans and their families, and seeing their smiles when they realize that we care - we support them - and we stand ready to network for whatever needs they may have.

Fisher House Michigan is honored to have individuals like Elizabeth representing us and spreading the mission as an ambassador.
