Women Healing America
The Vertical Pool is seeking a collective of women/vets/others to take over ownership of this healing pool vision. This opportunity will be Given to the group, so No investment capital required; just ambition, self-discipline, and the desire to help others in a rewarding career and self-employed company ownership.
Inspired by the anticipated need of the returning wounded, and veterans of all past conflicts, this pool now has a market predominantly of women, and ………………. Women are the Healers!
1 - Recovery options for veterans, and resulting depression/suicide statistics, are unacceptable!
2 - America must do more for those who have served and been placed in harm’s way.
3 - All tasks required to build, deliver, install, teach these DME devices can be done by women.
4 - These women could create their own company profile that works for them.
5 - The Vertical Pool, which can be sold, rented, or donated, has unique merits and virtues.
6 - One person alone cannot carry the load of this vision and mission.
1 - This healing pool was inspired by the anticipated need of the returning wounded, and veterans of all past conflicts, as well as any and all physically challenged, who have limited options for recovery, healing, and hygiene. Even when a patient is near an aquatic facility, it can be a challenge to get there and back without assistance. A heated pool at home enables convenient daily immersions, with family, for rehabilitation, recovery, therapy in vertical, horizontal, and seated positions. Soaking in sanitized warm water daily could reduce hygienic issues for those who have difficulty accessing a shower or bath. It may mean the difference between the positive of pain relief-exercise-wellbeing and the negative of frustration-depression-stagnation. Healing pools should be available to every veteran without convoluted forms and wait times. Simply a doctor’s prescription should make one eligible for immediate consideration.
2 - The non-profit www.vetpools.org (an effort to raise funds to donate these pools to vets) was formed with the specific objective of helping improve upon the methods and manners by which America receives and treats her returning wounded. The most formidable military force in the world deserves a commensurate comprehensive recovery, reintegration program focused on body, mind, and spirit for those who require assistance. When initially formed this organization received over 30 requests for pools from veterans in the first month! The program had to be delayed for lack of manpower (woman-power?).
3 - Women can handle every aspect of this product/vision and non-profit mission. Professional supervision and mentorship will guide this new collective to own, build, market, sell, deliver, install, instruct use of the pool, and case-manage, fund-raise, donate pools under vetpools.org. Each participant should have a specific one-on-one mentor for the first 6 months to year for guidance and support.
4 - This new collective of women will design a business profile based on their own personal needs. They do not need money to get involved, just desire, ambition, and the passion to help others. Different branches of the company could be “owned” by different individuals who would then have exclusive rights to perform that branch function. This might allow for grants and funding separately, which could then be pooled for the benefit of all. Men veterans could also be part of the work force while it may be their wives who technically “own” a part of the collective.
If the group does succeed in obtaining funds through grants as a women-owned, veteran-owned, minority-owned, disabled-owned business, that money should be deposited for reserve and development of the overall mission. Keep it debt-free as long as possible. It is most important, for purposes of incentive and pride, that they are owners, not employees.
The separate branches or wings that might be considered for exclusive ownership;
A - Manufacture of rotationally molded parts and foaming
B - Marketing/sales/advertising/computer
C - Accounting/books/taxes/payroll
D - Fabrication of manifolds
E - Liners (cut patterns and weld)
F - Stainless steel bars/rails/straps
G - The Swimhorse (a product that works in Any pool)
H - Delivery/installation
I - Physical therapist visiting all locations
J - Vetpools.org; director/case management/fund raising
5 - Merits and virtues unique to The Vertical Pool;
This healing pool is a recovery rehabilitation therapy pool (88-90 deg.), not a spa or hot tub.
A - Designed to the height, length, and reach of the body human which translates to
efficiency in energy, water, and space.
B - 5’ 4” deep water (unoccupied) for vertical exercise. Water level rises about 1’ for each 150
pounds of body mass.
C - Adjustable-height floor for different statures and uses.
D - 8’ 10” water length end to end for horizontal applications.
E - The Swimhorse support frame for horizontal applications. Full range swim movements
(even in slow motion) for folks not strong enough to swim alone.
F - Hoyer lift compatiblity for access/egress.
G - Hands-on assistance capability from outside perimeter of pool.
H - Fixed overhead and movable underwater exercise bars.
I - Comprised of rotationally molded, then insulated, double wall hard plastic parts strong
enough to sit or stand on.
J - Hillside and irregular terrain installation.
K - Entire pool, dismantled, fits into the bed of one pickup for transport.
- Common to TVP and other modular/kit pools;
A - Seats (2 - one either side at entry end) for seated applications
B - Insulated cover.
C - Can be installed indoors or out, basement, or garage.
D - Can be removed, reinstalled, sold, recycled elsewhere.
E - Earth tremor resistant.
6 - As only one person, innovator/owner of this pool idea and founder/director of vetpools.org, I cannot fulfill this objective alone. The R&D, pool product, and non-profit are all paid for in full, no debt or encumbrances. I would remain mentor/teacher/guide indefinitely while others slip into positions of responsibility and ownership. I will get my “trickle back” compensation over time if all is successful with a small percentage of sold/rented/donated pools after installation is complete and paid. I will continue to participate hands-on and on-site indefinitely.
Presently these pools are built in CA, but could be built anywhere. Various parts could be assembled in different locations of the country. This “on-demand” pool can be manufactured as needed without excessive, costly inventory and/or storage space. I do not advertise this product because one person cannot build, deliver, and install more than 5 pools in two to three months. The market and need is far greater than that. Installed to date nearly 50 times (purchases, donations, demos, and rentals) the pools have benefited women in 18 states.
Please share this idea with any and all contacts who might have the connections to give some women and others a lead to a worthy endeavor and career. Thank you in advance.
