UCP-Michigan recently started a new program, Ramps for Independence, designed to increase access to the community by providing ramps for homes of individuals with disabilities.
To qualify for Ramps for Independence, you must:
- be a person with cerebral palsy or live with someone with CP,
- not be a resident of Wayne, Oakland or Macomb County, and
- meet other technical requirements.
The program was funded through the efforts of Neil Sauter. In the summer of 2008, Sauter raised $75,000 by walking 830 miles across the state on stilts. Neil also documented his trip in this blog.
For more information on Ramps for Independence, call (800) 828-2714 or check UCP's Web site.
