Important Notice for Ramp Requests
The Texas Ramp Project accepts referrals only from qualified organizations and healthcare professionals. If you or a family member need a wheelchair ramp, please do not apply directly. Instead, reach out to your healthcare provider, social worker, or a community organization to submit a referral on your behalf.
