Work to Serve

We are so grateful to everyone who donated to this project so that we could provide an accessible shower to this sweet couple. There is no threshold at the base, making it easy to walk in or wheel in a wheelchair if needed. Grab bars were also added for safety. A removable shower seat will be used instead of a wall-mounted seat. (This is their preference.)
A huge shout out to Jefferson Nazarene Church and everyone who donated to this love offering on Christmas Eve and beyond! Thank you!!!

🚿We have a project coming up that could use some funding! We are hoping to completely cover the cost of this walk-in shower for a local veteran and his wife, who is suffering from dementia. If you feel led to contribute, please see the picture below for details or send us a message! Thank you for your generosity!

A DAY IN THE LIFE🦽🦼
Starting a new series of posts- walking through how life might change when you have a disability or love and live with someone who does! Some people live in this reality throughout their life and some have their world rocked when affected by an illness or injury later in life.
Hopefully by sharing these ideas, you will be able to see what kind of changes need to be made in a home (that we hope to be able to help with!) and also develop empathy for those that live with these challenges.

First- the bathroom. 🚽 🚿

Although this is the most private room in the house, the loss of independence for someone with a disability can be devastating. There are many ingenious solutions on the market that can restore dignity to individuals.

A few bathroom modifications:
✅ Large shower- can roll a wheelchair in over
the no-curb shower base.
- bench for sitting
- will have a hand-held shower
head. We will attach an
extra handle to the back to
hold on the arm with no
hands!

✅ ADA compliant sink - wheelchair can roll
under

✅ Bidet

❤️ Sometimes a person with a disability loses a sense of dignity when they are requiring assistance in the bathroom. It’s important to restore a sense of independence as well as give solutions for living with some ‘normalcy’!

Our first project to work on is Sarah’s parents’ house! Due to becoming a quadruple amputee, Robin’s former house was no longer accessible for her. Not every situation will allow for a new home, but with looking at the cost comparison for renovation of the old house and the fact that Robin’s son-in-law is a builder and able to do a large percentage of the work himself- this was the best option.
We know down the road Robin will have to be in a wheelchair (hopefully many years!), so we are planning the house to work for that time.
Stay tuned for multiple accessibility features as well as the many subcontractors who donated their time and gifts to this project!
