- Ramp Access Made Possible (RMP)Enabling Independence at HomeTalk with anyone constrained to a wheelchair about their frustrations and it is not long before accessibility concerns begin to surface. Whether it is restaurant seating that does not well accommodate wheelchairs, offices, and businesses that are not ADA compliant, public parking, or other, theirs is a life that few can relate to unless similarly disabled.Unfortunately for far too many persons, getting in and out of their home means waiting until someone is available to lift a wheelchair-bound person precariously down steps and into the outside. That frequently means having to wait hours, or even days before getting out. And then when help does arrive, so does the fear of being dropped.His Helping Hand's response is to build house-specific wheelchair access ramps that are fully ADA compliant. That means, for example, the slope is "just right" and there is sufficient room in which to navigate--independently! It also means no more waiting to enjoy the outdoors, to go to the library, to the doctor's office, the local museum, or grocery store. No more constraints . . . no more homes as prisons.We recently asked a number of our previous ramp recipients how getting a ramp has changed their lives. They often say it's "unbelievable" or an answer to prayer. We call what they say, "Outcomes." And they are exactly why we do what we do.
