Kiwanis Club of Denbigh Builds a Wheel-chair Ramp for Handicapped Child
by Harold Laurent

An enthusiastic and determined construction crew worked all day on a cold and occasionally rainy Saturday before Christmas to put together a wheelchair ramp for a family in Denbigh which had a young child who need to be transported to doctors and therapy in a wheel chair. Pictured left are Collette Munn and her granddaughter, Miagae' on the ramp. Pictured right at the builders (from l. to r.) lead builder John Lindstrom of 1st Advantage Federal Credit Union, Kiwanians Bill Morrison, Moose Spencer, Darcy Terry, Jim Russell and Junius Penn; and Paul Stuppell and Bill Alston, both of Coastal Community Church. Not pictured are Kiwanians Jeff Frey, who organized the work effort and the material procurement; Harold Laurent, who spearheaded the design, building permit and interface with the family; and Keith Hansen, who also worked on the construction, and Casey Duplantier CEO of 1st Advantage Federal Credit Union. The need was identified through the Kiwanis Children's Council of Hampton Roads Kids Priority One website. The ramp was completed the week before Christmas, just in time for the excited family to adorn it with Christmas decorations. This was a great cooperative effort of the Denbigh Kiwanis Club, 1st Advantage Credit Union and members of the Coastal Community Church; and a great Christmas present for the family.
