Local Volunteers in Mission at work!  Bill & Catherine Farmer Wheel Chair Ramp

It was reported to FUMC / VIM that the wheel chair ramp being used by the Farmers, Bill and Catherine was unsafe.  Bill has been confined to a wheel chair for about the past fifteen years with Catherine being his primary care giver.  The fall on a wheel chair ramp is supposed to be one inch for each foot of drop from the beginning height.  This ramp needed to be 16 feet long. The one being used was only 10 feet long making it too steep and unsafe. 

It was decided that the Franklin FUMC / VIM would install a new ramp for the Farmers.  The men listed below got together with the leadership of John Oxley to install the new ramp.  Most of the work was done on Friday and Saturday May 30^th – 31^st.   The ramp was completed on June 2^nd with the final touches finished on that day.
 

Bill and Catherine wish to thank FUMC and the VIM for this new ramp.  Catherine says the Wheel Chair Ramp is a blessing for them. 
 

The Project was completed with the help from FUMC Volunteers in Mission including, John Oxley / VIM Project Coordinator - Alex Bond - John Cunningham – Truitt Guinn - Tom Jones – Joe Holmes – Butch Mays
