[Blind-rollers] !RE: fully accessible van

[Becky Frankeberger]

Do you mean ramps to your home.  Get in touch with the Lions Club or service
clubs near you.  Many of them build very good ramps on homes.  Contact the
professional Builder Asociation as they have drives and will build ramps.

Our Local Lions Club built a fense for my guide dogs.  I had to pay for
materials, as I could swing that.  The lions dug the wholes and built the
fense about eight by tfourty feet.  We then had a contractor give us a break
and we bought the pea gravel and he pounded the gravel smooth.  Makes for
very easy pick up, smile.   

Becky and guide dog Jake who says, I don't talks about your bathroom.  So
nocks it off, gro'o'o'o'oow;

but....will the funding be available.  Our bank said they considered  the 
extra money for ramp etc to be medical equipment and would not finance.
