The Texas Ramp Project
http://www.texasramps.org/ In 1985, the Kiwanis Club of Richardson, TX began building access ramps for residents of the Dallas area. In the years since, this effort has grown into The Texas Ramp Project, with thousands of ramps built by a network of volunteers across the state. Our volunteers say it's the most satisfying work they have ever done; liberating people imprisoned in their homes, unable to get out because of the steps that most take for granted. The Texas Ramp Project works with local cities, social-services organizations, and hospitals to identify clients who need a ramp.

Richard suffers from Parkinson's Disease, a debilitating condition that interrupts motor skills and attacks the central nervous system.

TY for posting this.
Lil'Monkey has already looked into this group to do her high school volunteering for them. We are closer to Ft. Worth. There isn't much help for PD in our area.
