Hi Valued Customer,
Our amazing volunteers have hit another milestone this fall after just completing a benchmark year!
Thanks to volunteer efforts and local funding, RTGC offers
year-round services to area homeowners in need. Not only has our great,
dedicated ramp crew continued to install wheelchairs at an amazing rate,
but we also continue to receive calls for home modification projects to
help elderly and/or disabled neighbors continue to live in their family
homes. And all this follows a record-breaking year in volunteers,
projects, support and value.
See our impact for the year!
40th Wheelchair Ramp Installed
Volunteers accomplished a huge task on Saturday, October 3 when they installed the 40th RTGC wheelchair ramp
- and the 10th ramp in just 12 months! Thanks to these men, Meg* can
more easily enter her home following heart surgery which further
complicated her ability to walk steps.
 And
... without missing a beat after this milestone achievement, our ramp
crew installed another ramp on Wednesday, October 27 in Cambridge.
Thanks to this dedicated group of men, Tim*, an elderly neighbor with a
muscular disease, will no longer be confined to his home, but will be
able to leave the house for important doctor appointments and to
socialize with friends and family members.
Care to volunteer?
Home Modifications Keep Elderly in Home
All Ruth* wanted to do following her stroke and early
rehabilitation was to return to her family home. Unfortunately, steps,
narrow halls and bathroom spaces were preventing her greatest wish.
Thanks to teamwork between Rebuilding Together volunteers and her
physical therapy team, Ruth's home now has easier access, grab bars,
hand rails and non-slip flooring. Happily back home, Ruth is progressing
well in her further rehab. Thanks to our volunteers and local funders
who made this happen.

On behalf of the nearly 40 homeowner families that you
helped last year, thank you for volunteering, for donating, for
supporting Rebuilding Together Geneseo/Cambridge. I believe Carmen*, a
single mother who received a wheelchair ramp due to a sudden disability
earlier this year:
"Thank you so much.
I feel like a bird
who has been set free!"
