Testimonials

Pools of Hope staff hear from program participants every day that our services have improved their quality of life. For people with special health needs, the warm waters enable a level of freedom not possible on land. The pools improve self-esteem, create a sense of happiness and joy, and uplift participants. Here is just a small sample of the testimonials we receive:

"My 19 year-old son, Steve, suffered a tragic incident and ended up with a brain injury that left him unable to speak or walk. After months of rehabilitation, we found the Pools of Hope for aquatic therapy. After five-months of aquatic therapy and exercise in the heated pool, my son took his first steps. Today, Steve is walking with a cane. My family is so grateful that there is a place like the Pools of Hope to help improve the lives of people like my son."
