There's a group that helps individuals with these issues just the way you mentioned. Its called "Casting for Recovery". I donated a charter to them two years ago for a raffle. Its set up alot like TU's in the sense that each state has a chapter, the level of involvement depends on the people in the chapter.
If you do a search for Casting for Reovery, visit their web site. The chapter I donated to was in LI. The CT chapters were not as active, But just as important. The more bucks they raise the more women can attend. Orvis has been a big corporate sponsor them.
Don't have the link at this computer, I have some brochures that explain their mission and values. They depend on these donations and the volunteers to instruct these ladies on the finer points of fishing at a stage in their life that it all meens much more.
