“To get in and out of the house, we’d have to lug our walkers down the steps,” Zukatis said. “It makes it so much easier to get it in and out of the house.”
The project was made possible through a partnership between the Osceola Council On Aging and the Home Depot Foundation’s Helping Homebound Heroes.
