RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - To those who know her, Susan Revere exemplifies one of the key ingredients of doing things for others: working behind the scenes and being an instrument of a good cause.
Many area residents may be familiar with the nonprofit organization she leads, RampsRVA, which is short for Ramp Access Made Possible by Students in Richmond, Va.
But few people know about the tremendous impact that Revere’s colleagues say she’s made through her exceptional organizational and planning skills that’s led to the construction of 440 wheelchair ramps, free of charge, for residents in the region who have disabilities and are economically disadvantaged.
