Community Testimonials That Caught Media Attention
The SNN feature included powerful testimonials from clients and families who’ve experienced SailorGirl’s impact firsthand:
“Your transport driver was excellent in helping me get settled in my home after transporting me from rehab. Making sure I was comfortable. He deserves 100 GOLD STARS!!! It was also a pleasure meeting you. I am so glad my church is using your services.” – Carol, Sarasota Client
“Excellent, affordable service. Their rates were lower than the others. I used SailorGirl as a one-way shuttle home after a surgery. They arrived a few minutes before the scheduled pick up time, so they were there and ready to help. Driver was very cordial and friendly. I’ll definitely use them again if I need medical transport. Also, my family is far away, and I live alone. The hospital won’t allow bus, taxi or ride share, so finding SailorGirl was a true blessing.” – Zeke, North Port Client
