Mission Statement
We build wheelchair ramps for low income people with disabilities that are trapped in their own homes by their afflictions. While local, state and federal governments have done a good job requiring disability accommodations for public spaces, that accessibility is of little consequence to someone who cannot get out of their front door. Our ramps provide these people with disabilities freedom, independence, and a degree of dignity that their affliction has robbed them of.
About This Cause
There are tens of thousands of people with few financial resources that are living with disabilities and the effects of aging. These individuals are prisoners in their own homes because of barriers as small as a threshold or one small step. We provide wooden wheelchair ramps for these individuals without cost so that they can get back out into their community, reclaim their freedom, reassert their independence and regain their dignity. We have built more than 3,500 ramps over twenty years. Still, the numbers of individuals needing this type of assistance continue to grow exponentially as baby boomers age, medical science returns more patients to their homes and debilitating illnesses are better managed to allow more patients to leave institutional care facilities. Aging in place is becoming imperative for poor, disabled people. Institutional Health Care is incapable of accommodating the magnitude of people in need of care and ambulatory assistance. Our program allows clients freedom while saving taxpayers enormous sums of tax dollars. Servants At Work, Inc. (SAWs) has designed a system that can be replicated anywhere to meet the need of the disabled community. Our ramps are recyclable and reusable so that when they are no longer needed at one location, they can be disassembled and used to build another ramp at another location.
