All-In for the Win! Changing a life in just one day.

T

here is no better feeling than being able to give someone their independence back after it has been lost due to a disability. That’s exactly what happened In December when staff from All-In Construction Services came to the home of Ms. Nora Valles to spend the morning building a new, safe aluminum ramp. Ms. Valles, who is 70 years old, never thought that leaving her own home would be something that she couldn’t do on her own. But after a stroke and other diseases affected her mobility and overall health, she learned that her front door would now keep her isolated in her home.

“I’ve been a prisoner in here for two years.” - Nora Valles In record-setting time, and with all hands on deck, the All-In Construction volunteer team completed the ramp and gave a very deserving person their independence and peace of mind back.

“I’ve been a prisoner in here for two years… this has got to be the best thing that anyone has done for me in my whole life.” Is your organization interested in sponsoring a ramp build like this one?
