Nonprofit installs faster handicap ramps for veterans and others in need
SUMMARY: Mississippi Heroes, a nonprofit, is installing faster handicap ramps for veterans and others in need. These ramps, which previously took a long time to assemble, are now quicker to install thanks to a new modular design. Veteran Harry Hayes received a ramp that will make life easier for him and his wife, as they often couldn’t go outside due to the difficulty. The organization is seeking help through donations and volunteer support. The new ramps, which last for 10 years, can be moved and reused when no longer needed. Over 40 people are waiting for ramps in Mississippi.
