“Thank you all so very much for our wonderful ramp. You have given me the gift of freedom. I can now make it SAFELY in and out of the house. I am astounded at the craftmanship that went into the ramp. We are all amazed that it too less than 2 hours to complete. I prayed for a ramp for a long time.

I am the Social Work Manager for the San Antonio and Austin WellMed team and I wanted to email to express my appreciation for your involvement with the Texas Ramp Project. Building ramps for our patients is life-changing for them, as I’m sure you know. Simply that is an amazing contribution on its own. However, you go above and beyond by following up with my social work staff on the outcome of our referrals. In addition to letting us know that the ramps got built, you send pictures that are meaningful to my team. I cannot tell you how much …

Volunteers from Seguin United Methodist Church built a ramp for Rhonda S. When the team leader called to tell her they were coming out to build the ramp, she was very excited. She stated that she had actually fallen earlier in the week trying to get down her steps to go see her doctor. While the team was preparing the building site, the team members heard a voice crying for help from inside the house. Ms. S had fallen inside her home and was unable to get up. So, a few of the guys went in to assist her. While …

Texas Ramp recently built a ramp for Mr. R of Florence, TX ramp – great job…plus the society purchased him a “walker”. He does not have transportation as his truck transmission is out & he was using his riding lawnmower as his transportation around little Florence. We are thankful to the Texas Ramp volunteers and all its sponsors for the wonderful contribution of “ramps” to seniors in need. Again, from the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Santa Rosa de Lima church…God’s blessings. Rita Molina-Rymer Home Visit Coordinator Santa Rosa, St. Vincent de Paul

The Canyon Lake Volunteer Team built a ramp for Ms C. After the build was complete the family exited the house and viewed the ramp for the first time. Both the daughter and grandkids shared their surprise in how well and professionally the ramp was built, saying it was way much better than they expected. Their joy was obvious and the first thing they did was push Ms. C. down the ramp to experience the ease of exiting the house. They continued to express their thanks time and again. It was a blessing for all volunteers to share.

Volunteers from the Rebecca Creek Baptist Church in Spring Branch, TX and from San Marcos Warehouse Team #2 built a ramp for Mr H.

Volunteers from Friedens United Church of Christ in Geronimo built a ramp for Roberto J. Mr. J got home from dialysis about the time they were completing the ramp. Mr. J and his wife were so very appreciative of the volunteer’s efforts on their behalf. Both Mr. and Mrs. J said thank you at least a dozen times to the volunteers!

This is amazing. I am truly happy to hear this was made happen. You have filled my day with joy. A thousand thank you’s for this job well done. I will keep you in mind one I have any others in need.

Thank you so much for the report and (ALWAYS!!) the collateral. We shared some previous photos with our Board recently, and they were very moved to see all the results (and very entertained by the chicken under the old “ramp!”). FYI, we will most likely be focusing on issues related to the elderly population in our Fall 2020 grant cycle, and I will let you know sometime this summer, if so. In the meantime, I hope you and your colleagues in Richardson continue to raise awareness and dollars to fund this special program!

Thank you all so much for your hard work and dedication. I know this will help out Ms. S and her family in so many ways. I have shared this with my boss as well. Thank you again
