On June 8, volunteers from The Wyman Group partnered with SAWS to construct a ramp for a disabled individual living in Billy Bob Trailer Park on the city’s south end. More than a dozen employees pitched in to make the ramp a reality.
“We're working with the SAWs group today to put a ramp in for disabled gentleman,” said Wyman. “The beauty of doing a project like this is it helps an individual gain their freedom back. They can leave their home and go to the places they need to go and take care of their family.”
Wyman Group Realtors set aside their normal work attire and grabbed some power tools. Within six hours, the ramp was complete.
“Our corporate culture is making our community a better place every day,” said Wyman. “Our Realtors volunteer for a lot of different non-profits, and this is one that we love to support. Each year, we build the ramp for them.”
SAWs, or Servants At Work Inc., is a non-profit established in Indianapolis in 2003. Its mission is to build ramps for low-income, permanently disabled individuals. None of the cost is passed along to the recipient. For additional information about the organization, visit www.sawsramps.org
