A Ramp So a Couple Can Come and Go Safely

1 ramp built • Safe home access • Healthcare referral

A healthcare organization asked us to help a wonderful couple who had to call emergency services just to get in and out of their own home. Our team built the ramp that gives them that freedom back.

The Story

A healthcare organization reached out to Open Vessels to see if we could help a wonderful couple get a ramp installed in front of their house. Without one, they had to call emergency services every time they needed help getting in and out. Our team built the ramp so they can come and go safely on their own. As a man and a human being, it feels good to be able to do something like this, to stand back and say I am a contributor to our community rather than a consumer. Thank you to Dave Nortan with Oklahoma Ceiling Systems and Drywall, and to everyone who donates so we can make these things happen for our community.
