Bastian is a wish kid who is wheelchair bound. When brainstorming wish ideas during Covid, his family immediately thought about making their home more accessible.
At first, they considered an accessible bathroom remodel, but after some complications they decided that a front porch with a ramp would be the best fit. This would allow him easier access into their home, and a place to be outside safely with family.
Make-A-Wish Iowa partnered with Home Repair Team to build the porch and Wheelchair Ramp Accessibility Program to build the ramp. Both companies were amazing to work with and able to get all the construction done quickly and seamlessly!
Bastian’s mom expressed so much gratitude when the porch and ramp were complete, and was very grateful to have a safe place for Bastian to be outside and get in and out of their home.
