Veterans learn to dive for Free in PA and NJ! Liquid Therapy!

[gypsyjim]

Donna, is there any chance that this foundation will grow, with other Instructors willing to donate some of their time to train more veterans or active duty member at a time?

I followed the link to your website for donations through PayPal, this morning, and sent a small donation to your great foundation. I'd love to see your great idea available to more of our veterans!

I saw your donation, thank you so much!!

Yes, I am working with other volunteer instructors so I can conduct open water dives as Dutch with more than 1 student at a time. Right now, they are working with me, not independently.

Ps- a foundation is a totally different breed of non-profit, Liquid Therapy Diving is a public charity

Not having ever had to delve into the paperwork behind a non-profit, i was not aware of the differences.

My bad.

I'm curious, Donna. I know you have only recently gotten Liquid Therapy off the ground, with all the paperwork, etc...

How many vets or active duty have you been able to train so far?

We certified 1 Veteran last fall and there are 4 more in process so far this year

Had a lot of fun doing confined pool work with a veteran this weekend! John served in the Air Force from 1999-2009 and is the second half of a buddy team scheduled for check out dives up at Dutch in July.

I have had a bunch of interest from both Active Duty and veterans for training since I posted here last. In addition to the 4 already mentioned , there are a total of 6 scheduled so far for Discover Scubas in the beginning of July. They are a mix of real characters, definitely keeping me on my toes, LOL!

Be careful what you ask for?

Im just checking back to see how things are going with reaching Vets, and raising a few $.

We have been away for a couple of weeks, diving on Siladen, Indonesia with friends from SB, and I have not had either the time, or the internet connection to follow along with your progress.
