Some good news from Habitats for Humanity on KIRO news today! They were able to build a wheelchair ramp for a family in need with materials recycled from our church. Here’s an excerpt:
On Saturday, KIRO 7 visited the family and saw the ramp being constructed for the family.That ramp means the world to Werner because he knows it means Fiona will be able to experience the world.
“She’ll be really happy when she gets to go down the ramp and gets to go outside because she loves going outside and going places. But because it’s so much work to get her out of the house, we tend to not because it’s a lot of work,” said Werner.
The ramp is being made with recycled decking materials from Stanwood United Methodist Church, and the project is part of Habitat for Humanity’s overall mission to keep families in their homes.
“We really are seeking sort of the end vision is to help families make their homes safer, more efficient and longer-lasting,” said Christian Anderson, Habitat for Humanity’s construction manager.
