Mr. S and his wife live in the city. He is 78 years old and his wife is 91. He uses a wheelchair due to severe mobility issues from Parkinson’s disease, and is also experiencing some cognitive issues. His wife is his primary care-giver, and his sons help out when possible. Getting up and down the steps was nearly impossible without calling a rescue squad for help. The dedicated team at Godwin High School was scheduled to build this family a ramp on 10/5. They were all set to go when the RampsRVA truck broke down the morning of the build, and it had to be cancelled. The Godwin volunteers stepped up and rescheduled as soon as possible – giving up an afternoon off in the middle of the school day. They completed the build on Wednesday 10/23 and changed the lives of Mr. and Mrs. S. with the gift of mobility. They were thrilled with their new ramp. Thank you Hayden, Gurpaij, Abhinav, Eli, Nikolai, Aditya, and Tanish for your hard work and dedication to the cause!
On Saturday 4/27 Ms. M's life got a lot easier and safer! That's when the fantastic volunteers from Godwin High School completed a ramp for Ms. M, a 47-year old Henrico mom who has multiple health problems that make her unable to walk. She just recently returned from a hospital stay, followed by therapy in a rehab center. A straight ramp right off the front porch changed her life, and the life of her care-giver mother, who was extremely anxious about their safety. Big thanks to Abhinav, Hayden, Carter, Tanish, Arjun and Aditya for building ramp # 632.
