Ramp To Freedom

It's become impossible for one of our neighbors to use the stairs to her house, and she's in
a wheelchair.  One of our other neighbors is a contractor and he said that he'd build
her a ramp.  He worked on it yesterday afternoon and finished it this afternoon.
It's amazing what being housebound does for a person (think Seattle and the rain).
Today she and her daughter were actually able to go out to the library, in another words...
freedom, fresh air and sunshine.


This is the true meaning of aloha.
Mahalo Jason for all that you do for our neighborhood.

Thank you, Jane, for the wonderful post about our fantastic neighbor. Even his oldest daughters helped Sun. afternoon. They were great--very serious about what they were doing and doing it well.
The freedom it gives me to be able to get out and go places is priceless. The stairs had become a real impediment to my going anywhere.
Thank you, Jason, for your work and Jane for your post.
