What our participants have to say about HLH

"Vern"

" When I first moved to the Big Island (Hawaii), I hadn't met any Veterans. Being a combat Veteran from Afgani War, it was hard not to be able to talk to anyone that could understand me and how I express myself. Once I found out about HLH, I have found a greater peace within myself. Just having the camaraderie and have friends that I can reach out to is wonderful. Going out on the Big Blue ocean catching fish, having fun the whole time and sharing this experience with fellow Vets has changed my life HLH is a great resource to find peace and happiness within a Veteran's anxious mind."

"I’ve had the distinct honor of going deep- sea fishing out of Hilo Bay with Captain Jerry, Pono and the crew of HLH on a few occasions in 2024. Every time we went out, I felt a deep calm come over me. The everyday anxiety and stresses of my life were lifted. Being in the deep blue ocean of the Pacific is mentally and physically very therapeutic to someone like me. A BIG mahalo nui loa to Captain Jerry, Pono and HLH for making these trips happen for Vets like me!"
