When the CAPS community comes together, incredible things happen!
Our recent wheelchair ramp project in Northeast Austin is proof of just that. Over several build days, the CAPS Fix It Friends teamed up with the Texas Ramp Project, St. David’s, YMSL, and a fantastic crew of community volunteers to construct a safe, accessible ramp for one of our neighbors. From prepping modular pieces and hauling lumber to securing the final railings on-site, every step was a true team effort.
Take a look at some of the highlights and hard work captured by our volunteers throughout the build!
The dream team! Huge thanks to everyone from CAPS, Texas Ramp Project, St. David’s, YMSL, and our local neighbors who showed up with toolboxes and big smiles.
Measuring twice and cutting once. Volunteers prepped modules, hauled heavy supplies, and laid down the foundation for a sturdy structure.
Putting the pieces together! Teamwork made the heavy lifting easy as the ramp quickly took shape.
A look at the progress! Safe, sturdy access that will make a world of difference for our neighbor.
Help Us Wrap Up the Build!
While our crew made tremendous progress across multiple build days, there is still just a little bit of finishing work left to cross the finish line.
If you’d like to lend a hand, swing a hammer, or help with final touches, we’d love to have you on the team! Please contact Amy Nylund to join the crew on our next scheduled build date.
Thank you again to all our volunteers, partners, and supporters who make these projects possible. You are helping keep Austin accessible – one ramp at a time!
