Story

Virginia is 80, has spinal stenosis and arthritis.  She lives with her 74-year-old husband, who is legally blind.  He is Virginia’s main caregiver.  Prior to receiving the ramp, she was missing doctor appointments on days when she was feeling too weak to get up and down the stairs.

Thank you to our Monacan RAMPS Club for their time – and to Mr. Yost and Ms. Kessler for amazing support today!
