Story
Linell was paralyzed almost 15 years ago. Access has always been a challenge at this home. Friends and family were able to construct a ramp of both metal and wood, which enabled her to get out in her power chair to doctor appointments, though it was not safe (no rails and too steep). Her new ramp, courtesy of our Collegiate School RAMPS Club, is safe and will allow her to get outside on her own now, a prospect which she found overwhelming on her first trip down the ramp.
