Master Builders make a ramp for SeaTac resident Alexas Olvera
The Master Builders Association, Potter Construction and volunteers built a free ramp that will give five-year-old Alexis Olvera more mobility at his home in the Seatac area.
Families struggling with disabilities have difficulties getting in and out of their homes. The Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties and its members want to make the lives of these families a little easier.
Alexis Olvera has epilepsy and additional developmental delays. He is unable to stand and requires a wheelchair along with tubes for oxygen and feeding.
The new ramp was built Saturday, May 21, 2016.
Members of the Master Builders Association, through heartfelt dedication, hard work and the donation of their time and talent, aspire to improve the lives of individuals and families in this community.
A total of 37 families throughout King and Snohomish counties will receive the gift of greater mobility through the addition of new ramps during this year’s event. 2016 represents the largest Rampathon – 37 ramps – in the 23-year history of the event. Since 1993, more than 370 ramps have been built and $1.7 million of in-kind donations provided.
