Hi! My name is Akayla and I'm 15 years old. My father is a retired Air Force Colonel and graduate of the United States Air Force Academy (go Falcons!!), and I'm proud to be a military BRAT. Five years ago, I started Operation Christmas Fisher House as a way to give back to the military community, especially those that weren't as fortunate as my dad and were injured as a result of combat.
Operation Christmas Fisher House is my passion, and I am incredibly grateful for those that support me in my efforts. Meeting our nation's heroes in person to thank them for their service is a moving experience that demonstrates how far a little appreciation can go. It is clear how much it means to them just to sit down for a bit to talk about their experiences, thank them for their sacrifice, and give them a small token of appreciation. Very humbling and an experience I will never forget.
I'm thrilled that this project has been running for five years and I hope to continue running it for many more years to come! I currently manage OCFH with the support of my family, friends, and community :)
