Wheelchair Ramp Build, 23 Nov 2013

Completed Wheelchair Ramp, 23 Nov 2013

The mighty Messiah Carpentry Team braved the elements today to build another wheelchair ramp.  We had a hard deadline to complete this build. The owner's granddaughter is coming to town this week to take her shopping and there would be no way for her to get out of the house without this ramp.  The owner was very excited and thankful for our efforts.

As always, we had a great time and great fellowship.  The Messiah Carpentry Team loves doing this work. We truly believe it is what we are called to do.  If you would like to learn more about the carpentry team, please contact Joe Stuart or Owen Wasmoen.

Messiah Lutheran Church builds these ramps in partnership with CASA of Madison County.

CASA (Care Assurance System for the Aging and Homebound) is a non-profit agency located in Huntsville, Alabama that provides services to individuals age 60 and older and to the homebound (wheelchair and bed bound) of all ages.

CASA's mission is to provide needed services to aging/homebound individuals that allow them to remain at home and age in place. Our programs are designed to enable the elderly and homebound to maintain their independence, dignity, health and safety by providing services that specifically address their special physical and emotional needs.

Here are some additional photos from today's build.
