Review for Iron Men Outdoor Ministries Inc, Ramer, AL, USA
I'm a disabled paralyzed Veteran, and a full time wheelchair user.
Iron Men Outdoor Ministries each year hosts a dinner and fishing event for over 150 disabled Veterans. The only cost to the Veteran is their transportation to Alabama. Accommodations for 2 nights, were of no expense to my wife and I.
I signed up for the 2023 event, with apprehensions. The reason being, I hear from different organizations that they can handle a wheelchair veteran, when actually they try to 'Wing it' when I show up.
(And how are you getting me up there into the boat?)
With Iron Men they had a plan, and were experienced with guys like me ! I hadn't been fishing out in the Ocean in over 9 years since my injury. The Iron Men, not only work with Veterans but with disabled children as well. I can not recommend Iron Men Outdoor Ministries any lower than a 12 on a scale of 1 to 10. Please consider the Iron Men Outdoor Ministries when you make your tax deductible contributions each year.
THANK YOU AND I HOPE TO SEE YOU NEXT YEAR !
Review for 10 CAN, Inc., Ocala, FL, USA
I'm a fulltime wheelchair Veteran - and I have been to a few of 10 CAN's events - its never been a problem with accessibility. Im not looked at like 'That guy in the wheelchair'. I won the Veterans trip at their annual banquet to go fishing with a sponsor, Bearded Outdoors USA, and I had a FANTASTIC time. I have also gone along on a Gator hunt. I also (Thanks to 10-CAN's staff suggestions) put in for and was selected for my own Gator tags this year, and with 10-CAN's staff, I'll hopefully land one!
Review for LIFEWATERS, Saint Louis, MO, USA
I'm a 54 year old Paralyzed Veteran.
35 years ago, I was an avid scuba diver when I was in the Navy stationed in Guam.
When I became paralyzed at age 48, I thought that most of my activities were over, or atleast severely hampered.
Lifewaters.org proved me wrong. In November 2017, I was given the opportunity to Scuba dive once again, this time in the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. Not just with the divers, but with the Whale Sharks. "Diving with the Gentle Giants"
They are a life changing organization. THANK YOU LIFEWATERS.ORG !!
