Meet James

In early 2019 James Campbell, a relatively healthy 75 year old, came out of the shower one day and found himself suddenly unable to walk. Shortly after this incident, he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease, a progressive nervous system disorder that affects movement. Since getting that diagnosis his mobility has decreased steadily, and his reliance on his walker and wheelchair has increased over time. James currently has physical therapy three times a week and relies on his wife, Moe, to help him with daily tasks. While James knew that he would be unable to do many of things he once did on his own, he still desired a sense of independence and the ability to do some things, like showering and navigating his own home, on his own. CIL was able to provide Mr. Campbell with a shower chair and grab bars in 2019, and later built Mr. Campbell a custom ramp at his front door, to ensure safer and quicker traveling in and out of his home.

“I cannot thank CIL enough for what they provided my husband. We received an amplified phone, walker and ramp whichwe would not have been able to afford on our own. Having all of these things has made our life a lot easier,” Moe says

This ramp will give both him and his wife the peace of mind they desperately need and the ability to live independently in their own home.
