A safer way home makes all the difference. đź’™
For Carlos and his family, a new wheelchair ramp means more than easier access. Their previous ramp lacked handrails, and his wheelchair would often get stuck in the gravel, creating daily challenges and safety concerns.
Thanks to our Critical Home Repair Program and donors who made it possible, Carlos now has a safe, professionally built ramp at home. His mom, Mariana, shared photos of his excitement when he arrived home from school and saw his new ramp for the first time.
In her message to our team, Mariana called the ramp a “ray of light” for their family and expressed her heartfelt gratitude to everyone involved.
Even more special, her husband has offered to use his 11 years of experience as an electrician to volunteer with future Habitat projects and help another family in need.
This is what community looks like: neighbors helping neighbors, families gaining greater independence, and kindness inspiring more kindness.
Thank you to our volunteers and supporters who make projects like this possible.
