My Nonprofit Reviews

The Blinded Veterans Association was a beacon of hope when I was losing my vision. They guided me through one of the most difficult times in my life. They taught me how to advocate for myself, which resources are available to me (and where to find them), that I am not alone in this and their are others that are/have going/gone through this life-changing event. With peer support and direction I was able to go outside into the public with my head held high and feeling proud. Through their various groups I was able to learn how to apply for a guide-dog, and what to expect throughout the process. They hold various activities that get the members involved an doing things some people think would be impossible to do without sight. They teach you about the various blind rehabilitation centers, and which ones might suit your needs best.

They are like the family that you truly like!

The Blinded Veterans Association has changed my life for the better in many ways. Through their activities and their group sessions I have grown physically as well as mentally.

The US Veterans Rowing and Kayaking has truly help my recovery. They showed me that just because I have a disability, it doesn’t mean that I can’t be active and also compete against my peers. I have participated in multiple championships and competitions and now matter the results I was treated with respect. I can’t wait for the next time I can participate in one of their events.

Before I was introduced to the U.S. Veterans; Rowing and Kayaking Foundation I was not very active and had physical and mental health problems, Once I joined they were very supportive and encouraged me to start regular rowing sessions. After a year I had greatly improved and started to build self esteem. I started training more often and whenever possible I joined them for their on the water programs. I have started other healthy activities and i have U.S. Veterans; Rowing and Kayaking to thank for getting me started on this toad to happiness!
