A disabled Oklahoma City woman finally has a ramp for her mobile home. She contacted us because she was struggling to find an organization or agency willing to build her one...she simply didn't fit within their criteria for receiving assistance. We knew exactly who to call...the American Business Club. The national civic club has a number of local chapters in Oklahoma including right here in Oklahoma City (I included a list of their local chapters and contact information in an earlier blog posting several weeks back and here's their http://www.ambucs.com/)
Back to our disabled woman...she took her first ride down her new ramp Saturday. I couldn't be there because I was getting ready for our football game tailgate in Stillwater (Go Pokes! Not to worry Sooner fans...I still root for OU as long as they're going head to head with my Cowboys)...but Marc Dillard, our IYC photojournalist and producer, was able to show face. He caught everything on tape...a bunch of hard workers those AMBUCS volunteers. The ramp looks amazing...alot went into it...including hundreds of dollars spent on materials, although some of the materials were donated by ProBuild (Metro materials supply store)...the labor of course was free courtesy of AMBUCS.
Tune in Tuesday night at 10 to catch the full story...
