Community contributions: Deep Well Project

When a Deep Well staff member went to visit Ruby, she found that Ruby’s trailer needed lots of repairs.

Ruby is in a wheelchair, and her husband is also disabled. Over the course of several weeks, Deep Well volunteers built a wheelchair ramp, widened all the doorways, repaired floors and toilets, installed handicapped bars in the bathroom, and repaired electric outlets.

Deep Well hired a plumber to install a new hot water heater and a roofer to put on a new roof.

Deep Well provides a broad range of social services for poor working families, the disabled, the sick and the elderly.
