Community Comes Together to Build Ramp
May is National Remodeling Month and also Lyme Disease Awareness Month. The Home Builders and Remodelers Association has teamed up with a local organization called Amy’s Angels to help a 13-year-old boy battling Lyme Disease.
Troy Murphy has been unable to leave his home for two years since contracting Lyme Disease and a series of other tick-borne infections. After being bed-bound and tube fed since age 11, Troy is showing signs of improvement and is able to go outdoors again.
To help him get in and out of the house easier, Amy’s Angels and the HBRA of Central CT are building Troy a handicap ramp.
“The whole idea of building a handicap ramp so it would be easier to get Troy in and out of the house so I thought that was a great idea and we ended up partnering with the Home Builders and Remodelers’ Association,” said Bob Fiondella, founder of Amy’s Angels.
Our members come together and in about 6 hours, they can produce a product that can have a huge impact on a family – Eric Person, CEO of Home Builders and Remodelers Association.
