One of our members in need

Hello! I wanted to share a heartfelt cause that’s close to my heart. A wonderful woman is facing significant challenges with her health and mobility, and a wheelchair elevator at home could truly change her life. If you could consider donating or sharing the GoFundMe link, it would mean a lot and help provide her with the independence she needs. Thank you for your kindness. Art, KB1YAP and Nancy are great people and she needs wheelchair access into their home.73 Russ K1RTA  -  Click on the link below to donate. https://gofund.me/209b8a16a
