Welcome to All God's Children Ministries and Ramps of Hope
An open Christmas letter from our Executive Director
Dear friend of All God’s Children Ministries and Ramps of Hope,
Please take a moment to read about Ramps of Hope recent ramp recipients, Keith and Annette M.
They are high school sweethearts and will celebrate their 40thwedding anniversary in June. Four years ago, they moved into their dream home, in Erie PA. Keith mused, “It was God saying, all right, give them a break”.
Annette has difficulty walking but could cross the street with her “granny cart” to shop for groceries with Keith watching from the living room window. One day, Annette fell when shoveling the porch steps to go shopping. Keith watched helplessly, because he could not navigate the stairs in his wheelchair.
Soon after, they saw a TV news story about All God’s Children Ministries’ Ramps of Hope program. Annette called and requested a ramp.
Although they were not able to help build, Keith and Annette cheerfully provided donuts and coffee to the 17 volunteers who constructed their ramp on a cold, snowy winter day. (January 6, 2024).
Keith said “I wish others could feel the gratitude I feel every time that we use our ramp. Ramps of Hope supplies miracles, I want to do everything I can to help anyone else to feel this awesome.”
852 people have received accessibility ramps from Ramps of Hope since 2010.
Your gift to All God’s Children Ministries will help make Keith’s wish come true for the 85 people currently on the Ramps of Hope waiting list.
