Volunteers build ramp to aid in recovery

RUSSELVILLE — Linda Suggs said she’s been working to get better ever since she had a stroke in September 2019. One key thing she needed to continue that progress was a ramp for her home located in Reedtown.

Thanks to some volunteers, she now has the ramp.

Suggs credits Keller Healthcare in Red Bay and Dr. John Almirol and his staff in Russellville for assisting her in her recovery. She thanks a group of volunteers from Redemption Outreach Church for the work building her ramp.

“We have a small group,” said Frank Starr, one of the church volunteers. “We get together maybe twice a month, and we find a need and we go try to fill it.”

Suggs believes the ramp will allow her therapist to better assist her with being able to walk again.

“I believe I will walk again,” Suggs said. “It’s still some good people in the world,” she added. “No matter what’s going on in the world today, it’s still good people. God got his angels still watching over us for those that need help to help us here in this world.”
