Ms. T is a 77 year-old City resident who lives with her husband and sister in a small rental house. She had a stroke resulting in severely impaired mobility on her left side. Her elderly disabled sister is her caregiver most of the time. On Saturday 9/21 a small but mighty volunteer team from Henrico High School built Ms. T a ramp. In just two hours, her life became much easier and safer, and she and her caregiver were happy as she made a successful test run. Thank you Sriram, Sriya, and Asa for giving up your Saturday to give the gift of mobility to Ms. T
Welcome Henrico High School to the RampsRVA team and congrats on successfully completing your first build today! Mr. W is an Eastern Henrico resident who lives by himself. He has had a stroke, has COPD, and has recently suffered repeated falls that made maneuvering his steps impossible. Today, he wheeled down his new ramp and celebrated an early Independence Day. Thank you for your hard work and dedication, Henrico HS volunteers - Sriram, Arjun, Sriya, Jithesh, Jamal, Aliza, RIshi, and Aadit - you have given Mr. W the gift of independence, mobility, and safety. Here's to many more great builds!
Students from the Henrico Ramps Club spent several hours refurbishing ramp materials so they can be reused on future ramp builds.
