Because No One Should Be Trapped in Their Own Home
Right now, seniors across Oklahoma City are prisoners in their own homes. A broken step. A missing handrail. A wheelchair ramp they cannot afford. These "small" barriers steal their independence.
Your donation changes that. $50 buys the lumber. Our volunteers provide the labor. Together, we restore freedom.
