Can We Fix It - day 1


Our group name is Can We Fix It and we were tasked with the job of repairing a broken wheelchair ramp for our project. We didn’t know what to expect, but when we got there we were greeted by one amazing host. Her name was Angel and she was very happy and appreciative of our help. She had been though some really rough times, and the bad neighborhood just made it worse. We were very thankful for her hospitality, and we were more than happy to help her. We quickly realized however, that a wheelchair ramp wasn’t the only thing that needed assistance. We decided that the front porch also needed an overhaul, as well as trash in the yard. We quickly got to work and by the end of the first day we have already demolished the old wheelchair ramp and are ready to install the replacement. We also have ripped up the carpet and boards to the front porch, and have the new boards on standby. Our first day was not uneventful, as we found a groundhog living under the ramp and two snake skeletons in the porch! We look forward to our work tomorrow when we can serve God more.

  1. Looks like your getting into the work.
    Might consider covering the tops of the ramp joists with Ice & Water to add longevity.
