John,

Wow, in just over 24 hours, we’re nearly halfway to our goal of building Mother Mary Futch a new ramp.

Mother Futch has resided at the same address in Detroit for more than 60 years. As a mother of 10 children who loves her church and loves her community, Mother Futch was always one to keep the neighborhood up.

But now, this 102 year old beloved neighbor and community member is unable to leave her house without a new ramp.

Join me in donating to Bridging Communities to help build Mother Futch a new ramp and help keep her active in her community.

Thank you for your generous support,

Rashida

John,

The loss of mobility and the resulting isolation can be devastating for someone. Particularly someone who has been active in their community for generations.

Mother Mary Futch has lived at the same address on Maxwell Street in Detroit for more than 60 years and she recently turned 102 years old. Mother Futch dedicated her life to her family, community, and her church.

But now, without a new ramp for her home, she’s unable to leave the house. And a new ramp will cost $30,000.

Already, a generous donor has pitched in $10,000 toward that $30,000 goal. Can we get Mother Futch the rest of the way?

Click here to donate to Bridging Communities and help our 102 year old beloved neighbor, Mother Mary Futch, remain active in her community.

Thank you for always putting neighbors and community first.
