#ZealTheLove for the Holidays: Michigan United Cerebral Palsy
Our Mortgage Team is supporting Michigan United Cerebral Palsy’s (MI-UCP) QuickRamps for Kids program. MI-UCP’s mission is near and dear to our team’s hearts; A teammate’s mother has multiple sclerosis, and he knows how much of an impact a simple, functional mobility solution will make in the lives of children who use a wheelchair.
MI-UCP’s mission is to enable all Michiganders with a disability to live to the best of their abilities and ambitions; and QuickRamps for Kids provides easy-to-install ramps to low to moderate income households at no charge, so that children with mobility disabilities can access their home without barriers. This program makes a direct and immediate impact on the lives of children with disabilities in our community. Thank you Michigan United Cerebral Palsy for all you do!
