Have you ever stopped to think about how you would get into your own home if you were suddenly in a wheelchair?  Do you have any steps to negotiate to get to your front door?  What sort of help would you need just to get inside?  The power and simplicity of a wheelchair ramp is often underestimated, even discounted – until it is needed.  It then becomes a transformative piece in your life and the lives of those in a wheelchair.  And the best wheelchair ramps available for residents in Appleton, Wausau, Cudahy, Milwaukee, Waukesha, and Madison are made by National Ramp and installed by Access Elevators.

How To Best Afford Your Wheelchair Ramp

Whatever leads to the situation where you are now in a wheelchair, either temporarily or permanently, it’s like adding insult to injury when you have a wheelchair ramp installed.  Not because it makes it possible for you to get into and out of your home, but because there is a cost involved with having that ramp.  And it’s an expense that most people are not prepared for, especially after a serious incident.  Our friends at National Ramp have put together a great resource for doing fundraising to help pay for wheelchair ramps and other accessibility needs.

One of the first things that National Ramp recommends you do is to apply to your insurance provider to see if they will cover the cost.  Often they will not, and you will get a denial letter, but this is important down the road with other avenues you pursue as having this denial letter will prove important.  They also recommend that you don’t put all of your hope in a single fundraising campaign or request.  You can find out more great tips here:  https://homeaccess.nationalramp.com/6-tips-for-successful-fundraising-for-assistive-technology/
