Our team-members and volunteers experience emotions of sadness as families suffering the loss of a loved one and began clearing out equipment used by that person. We have removed and reused ramps loaned by ONC several times. We are occasionally given chairs and walkers, a motorized chair and a wheelchair ramps as well other items are no longer needed. We gratefully accept these items and repurpose them.
Recently a family turned over two walkers and a motorized bariatric wheelchair. The wheelchair was delivered that same day to a client who was in dire need of one. The next day another kind person donated a walker and a wheelchair to ONC. These items were delivered to the Oswego offices of Arise. Almost ten years ago, Arise was instrumental in assisting ONC as we built our very first ramp for a Fulton resident.
