Rick Mantei recently gifted $5,000 to Friends of Fisher House Charleston, helping support its mission of keeping Veterans and their families close during times of medical uncertainty.

The Charleston Fisher House provides free lodging for eligible families of Veterans receiving care at the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center. By giving families a comfortable place to stay near their loved ones, Fisher House helps remove the cost of lodging during what can already be a challenging and uncertain time.

While lodging is provided at no cost, families may still face other expenses associated with traveling and being away from home. Rick was glad to make this gift to help support Fisher House Charleston and the Veteran families who rely on its services.

Since opening in early 2018, the Charleston Fisher House has focused on caring for the caregiver, providing families with a safe and welcoming home while their loved ones receive treatment. Having family nearby can provide Veterans with additional comfort, strength, and peace of mind when they need it most.

Supporting Veterans and their families is a cause close to Rick’s heart, and he is proud to help organizations like Fisher House Charleston continue making a meaningful difference for those who have served our country.
