THat is a great story! A big Thank You goes out to him.
the listeners of WMAL in Washington DC contributed over $1 million. The original target was $250,000 but when they reached it, they just kept going.

Snopes verified.

Awesome news! My family stayed in the Fisher House when my mother was at the VA dying of cancer. We were so thankful for the ability to stay in a beautiful, clean place near where she was being treated that we asked all memorials be made to the Fisher House in her name.
The House was first rate. Thanks, Denzel. You'll never know how much it means to the families.

Didn't hear of the Dixie Chicks doing that, did we? I think I'm becoming a Denzel Washington fan!

On WMAL Radio they said a Fisher House costs about one million dollars to build. Their listening audience donated enough for one and I understand they are well on their way towards a second one!
