Review for Hopes Float Inc, Longmont, CO, USA
Hopes Float is a non-profit orginization that I volunteer with as a captain and as a helper on their specially outfitted boat. The boat is outfitted to access and carry wheel chair persons. I have been on trips as far away Farmington New Mexico. We take people out for a day of fishing or just to ride around the lake. My most recent trip was with soldiers and their family's for a fishing day at Lake Pueblo, Colorado.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Seeing joy on the face a child or handicapped child that has never caught fish or been on a boat. I usually try to have the child sit on my lap and steer the boat. I loved seeing the people just enjoy the outdoors experience.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Add another boat so we could plan more trips for persons who have the desire to take a trip like this and expand our service area to another part of the state as well as other states.
