WHEELCHAIR RAMP PROJECT

July 20, 2017

Tracine Farrow, of the Yelm Lions Club, received a call to help a person who needed a wheelchair ramp.  She called the Lacey Sunrise Lions for assistance.

He was admitted into the hospital and his leg was amputated.  He was house bound without the use of a ramp.
