My Nonprofit Reviews

I'm a blind senior at Rye Brook Atria Living Community.
Since beginning our recreational therapy indoor and outdoor rowing program with U.S. Veterans' Rowing & Kayaking Foundation over 2-years ago, I've had significant improvement in my overall health.
My legs were swollen and I had trouble sleeping. My blood pressure was also high. Since working with my individual coaching staff, I'm pleased to report that the swelling of my legs are down due to improved circulation. I sleep restfully and my blood pressure has improved according to my doctor.
As a blind aging senior in her 80's my biggest immediate benefit was my sense of regained balance which helps me to stay on my feet and not risk falling. How great is that?!
I'm most grateful for this wonderful charity which works with all veterans, including old blind ones.
As a side note, I have attended and competed in my second Connecticut Indoor Rowing Championships in Easton, CT and rowed with other blind and vision impaired veterans which to me is amazing....as it was for all the civilian spectators who came out to support us all!
One of our residents named Ruth Shiller actually set a world and American record for the 1000 meter race at age 98!
Please help support this great non-profit any way that you can because they really care about improving the quality of the lives of each injured and disabled veteran one at a time.
