Story
Cherish is 30 years old and has Huntington’s Disease (a brain degenerative disorder). The symptoms are similar to having Alzheimer’s, ALS and Parkinson’s all at once. She has had seizures and has difficulty with her balance. A ramp will allow her to get her daughters to the bus stop, and to get out of her home safely. Her 52-year-old mother in law will also benefit from the ramp.
Our Eagle Scout team did a great job despite everyone being brand-new builders. Additional thanks are extended to Dave Newton, our RAMPS Board Member, who worked with this crew.
