A thank you letter for a wheelchair Ramp we did in Randolph

"I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for the the help provided by...BonaResponds!  I believe finding BonaResponds was a Godsend.  Without the help from BonaResponds the wheelchair ramp would not have been built for at least two years, as that is how long the waiting list was for the program my mother qualified for.  There was no possible way that I physically could have built the ramp and paying someone for their labor would have taken its toll on my finances to say the least.


I believe every community should have such a wonderful volunteer team to help out, the world would be a much better place!  


Donating their time, spending it away from family and hobbies is such a selfless act, and I thank God that the team went out if their way to help me.  It warms my heart to know people like them still exist in the (sometimes crazy) world.  ....BonaResponds truly makes miracles happen!


Fondly,

SBU president Sr. Margaret shared this with me and the author (Laurie) agreed to its posting:

This Weekend (Labor Day weekend)

Mini-service Weekend
Not a huge event, but we do need some volunteers

• On Friday at 5:30 Working on Bob's Wood's trails. Depending on how many show up, work will include mowing, chain sawing, and sign painting.   
• Saturday -taking down an old ramp and maybe doing some painting (depending on how many show up and weather)
• Sunday we will be going over to Randolph to work on a wheelchair ramp.  Leave 10:30 from Murphy, return about 6 each day.  (yes you can drive if you want to come back early) 

ok, I confess I am in a miserable mood.  The only way I know how to help lift myself out of the duldrums is to work harder, So while we had planned on working one day this weekend anyways, we might as well add two more since the work needs to be done and I will be there anyways, AND  would love to have some company!

BonaResponds is going to Randolph

Fast response, but we need your help...

Heading to Randolph NY  this afternoon to help cut trees etc after their tornado.

If you can at all come, we really need a hand. You can leave with us at 1:30 from SBU (Murphy).  We will have water and food, but come dressed to work (boots etc
