The power of access

At our recent Board of Director's meeting, Cynthia Miller shared how a group of strangers built a wheelchair ramp at her home so that her son Phillip would have access. As a working parent, Cynthia had been a long time contributor to United Way.

Cynthia asked for help through the United Way Ray West Wheelchair Memorial Ramp Project because she knew she needed to break the barrier which kept Phillip from being able to leave the house.

Today, you are likely to turn to Cynthia to find help. She works at the United Way 211 Center assisting local residents find help for the issues they face. This is in a way a chance for her to extend the United Way network of resources to others. And Cynthia does that with grace and compassion.
