A Ramp For Mom

IMAG0218

I came across this wheelchair ramp awhile ago searching for something to feature on the blog. Not only is this ramp a good and functional one, it also has a sweet yet emotional story behind it.

The website I found this on is called Life with Mom and PSP. It’s a blog started by a son whose mom was diagnosed with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), a degenerative brain disease. The blog told her story and to bring attention to this rare yet devastating disease.

Part of the story was mom coming to live with the son’s family and them building this ramp for her. From what I can tell the ramp portion was added onto an exiting deck. In which case they did a magnificent job blending it all in. Either way the overall design is very pleasing to the eye.

Sadly the blogger’s mom did eventually pass away but the blog still exists to continue spreading her story and to help others. There’s some good information on the blog. To visit go to http://lifewithmomandpsp.blogspot.com.
