Mr. K. is paralyzed from the chest down. He needed a safer way to get in and out of his home. Mr. K. and his mother were overwhelmed with joy and gratitude by the ramp build by the Mt. Horeb ramp team. Their response serves as a powerful reminder of what this ministry means to those who experience it.
Titus 3:14 Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good, in order to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives. Ms. E. is wheelchair-bound and in constant pain. Any time she had a medical appointment, her daughter and her neighbors spent 30 minutes to move her in or out of her home. Thanks to the Mt. Horeb ramp team, she now has easier and safer access. The Mt. Horeb pre-build team did a wonderful job setting up the ramp so the the install team had an efficient assembly of this beautifully designed ramp.There is almost no wasted material in the construction of EmmanuWheel ramps. Post caps are manufactured from leftover scraps of unusable deck boards. During this post cap party, 435 caps were made by some amazing EmmanuWheel volunteers!Mr. L is confined to a wheelchair and had a very steep and dangerous makeshift ramp allowing him to get in and out of his home in emergencies. Thanks to the Swansea Baptist Ramp Team, he now has a solid, well built, ADA-compliant ramp he can rely on!Thank you Latino Lions for another job well done! Multiple health issues caused Mr. and Mrs. M. to have difficulty using steps to enter and exit their home. Mrs. M. recently fell on the steps. Now the couple does not have to worry about falling. The Latino Lions team was commended for their work ethic as Mr. and Mrs. M expressed their thanks to the team for making such a difference in their lives.
Ms. D. and her mother had an immediate need for a ramp to replace a temporary ramp after Ms. D. was released from the hospital. The temporary ramp was narrow and moved under the weight of her motorized wheelchair. The family was afraid that the chair would tip over. Ms. D. and her mother expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the Mt. Horeb volunteers for this lasting improvement to the quality of Ms. D's life :-).Thank you, Cheerful Giver! The Cheerful Giver is an anonymous donor who gives through the Central Carolina Community Foundation. We are so thankful that you believe in the ministry of EmmanuWheel!
Mr. H., a recent amputee, was unable to safely exit his home. The Kittiwake Baptist Church Blue ramp team built a beautiful ramp allowing him to enter and exit his home with safety!A huge THANK YOU to the Mungo team for partnering with EmmanuWheel by providing wonderful volunteers with servant hearts and hard working spirits! A safe and sturdy ramp was constructed for Mr. B. by this team.Ms. R. is a quadriplegic due to a car accident almost 10 years ago. Her family is getting a home ready for her. The Latino Lions ramp team assisted with the home by adding a wheelchair ramp and renovating the existing deck. Ms. R. now has a safe way in and out of her home. Thank you Latino Lions for being the hands and feet of Jesus! It was a wonderful day made even better when Jim and Barbara from the Lexington Lions Club provided lunch!
