This is a direct call to action to help seniors. A group of men in Hanover County, VA serve seniors by building ramps. John Munn (804-746-8483) is the leader of this group. They are a group of retired carpenters and tradesmen who minister to seniors by supplying them with ramps at their houses. I know this because they built one off the back porch of my parents' home. If it weren't for their generosity, my parents would have had to have moved into a more handicapped accessible residence. This ramp has given my mother, who suffers from muscular dystrophy, the ability to "age in place." I am very thankful for their ministry.
I am asking those who read this entry to consider starting a team of ramp builders. Mr. Munn told me there are more requests than his group can handle. He is actively seeking volunteers to start teams. He secures wood and materials from donations and uses volunteer skilled labor. Mr. Munn can help churches develop this type of ministry. He is actively working all over Richmond, VA to help additional groups get started. If you are skilled in carpentry, please consider this as your way to serve our seniors. Call Mr. Munn to get started.
