I am a social worker for St. Claire Home Health in Morehead, KY. I have a couple, James & Phyllis Stone, whom I am working with. They both are elderly low income couple whom both have multiple health problems. Mr. & Mrs. Stone both have mobility problems. They currently live in a mobile home & are in need of a handicap ramp for easy access to their home. Mr. & Mrs. Stone can be reached at 606-780-4172. I can also be reached at 606-495-7763.

I am writing on behalf of my elderly and disabled mother for whom able just completed building a wheelchair accessible ramp for. I cannot express my heartfelt gratitude for the volunteers and donors for their help. These selfless individuals provided there time, purchased materials and rented equipment to do the job at no expense to my mother at all, just to help another person in need. I cannot express my gratitude in enough good words to say about this fine organization. My thanks go out to Jaime,Bill,Dennis and Gina and to all the donors and sponsors of this fine organization.
With the addition of the wheelchair ramp I know that in the event of a fire that my mother can get out of the house safely not to mention that it makes getting out for Dr. appointments much easier than ever before since she has lost her ability to walk due to strokes.
In closing I just want to add that these people are some of the nicest,most giving people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting in my life……
Sincerely yours,
Roger Staton (Morehead, Ky)
Thanks for the kind words, Roger. Our crew enjoyed working on this project and making a difference. As a result of this experience – and others – we are actively working to expand our senior/disabled program in 2016.
