Last week, our team and VyStar volunteers built a ramp for Mr. James, an 83-year-old veteran battling stage four cancer, and his wife Alice.
Just last summer, Mr. James was still building fences and decks. Unfortunately, he is now fully dependent on his wife Alice. With his full-time care, treatments and doctor’s appointments, the yard & deck, where they love to spend time on, had become overwhelming.
After getting Mr. James settled, Alice worked alongside us & VyStar’s volunteers for hours, sweaty, dirty and smiling.
After the completion of the ramp, Alice had reached out to express just how grateful they were.
"I just wanted to tell Builders Care and VyStar Credit Union volunteers how much we appreciate the ramp you built for me to get my husband's wheelchair to the truck. I truly still get teary eyed every time I look at it and remember everyone coming out on September 22nd to help us. They even pressure washed my old deck so it looks like new and helped me clean up a disaster of a wood pile. We are forever grateful for all the hard work and great people that work for both of your companies."
Eight people. Two days. A husband & wife who have just a little bit less to worry about today. ❤
