"This is the first time I've been out of my house since April"

Ramp Up Marathon County volunteers got a quick reminder of why they do what they do this week. The crew completed a ramp build on Wausau's northwest side on Tuesday, July 25. After completing the ramp project, they asked the recipient to come out for "team" picture with the volunteers. Her first statement was that this was the "first time she had been out of her house since April".

If you, or anyone you know of, is in a similar situation, please contact the Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) at 715-261-6070 or 1-888-486-9545 or Midstate Independent Living Choices (MILC) at 1-800-382-8484. Just ask to talk to a "resource specialist" and they will explain the requirements and options available to you. Our goal is to help lower income Marathon County residents gain safe access to and from their homes.
