Mississippi Heroes seeking help to gift Biloxi veteran accessibility ramp for home
SUMMARY: A nonprofit organization, Mississippi Heroes, is helping retired Army veteran Skip Williamson, whose life changed after a fall last year led to reliance on a walker and wheelchair. Living with his daughter, Skip struggles with dangerous steps that pose risks for further injury. The nonprofit aims to build a ramp for him, but there is a significant waiting list of 60 individuals needing similar assistance. Executive director Katherine Sutton urges the community to contribute through funding and materials to expedite these projects. Those interested in supporting Williamson can contact the organization at Mississippi Heroes’ email.
