Penny Marr and her brother John were overjoyed at receiving a ramp for John’s use. John was a highly decorated firefighter before he had major health issues which have greatly limited his mobility. To build this 47 foot ramp, 11 Burnet team volunteers donated more than 55 hours of labor to provide John with the freedom he had dreamed of.
“Hi Don,
With deepest gratitude,
OMGoodness! The ramp is gorgeous! When we came home last night he (John) was so surprised. It moved him to tears. He cannot believe how blessed he is – it opens up his world. He walked it several times. We were watching TV when he just got up and went outside (8:00pm) then came back in, his eyes full of tears. “How do I thank them,” he asked. You all will always have a place in our hearts. We cannot believe what you have accomplished so quickly. You and your group are the most generous, kind and giving people. This is life changing for my brother. He gets his freedom back…
Penny and John”
