Community comes together to build ramp for young disabled man

SOUTH BEND, Ind. - The St. Joseph County community came together to build a better future for a young man with cerebral palsy.

Community members broke ground on a ramp for 18-year-old Kadin Johnson.

The ramp will help the family not have to carry him up and down the stairs of their house.

Kadin Johnson's mother, Shannon Wilson said, "I'm still overwhelmed, like so grateful, but I can't even really explain it. It's just so nice to know that there's, there's good people, there's still good people, you see all this bad stuff on the news. And the reality is that I think a lot of good things go unnoticed."

Carpenters' Union Local 413 is helping build the ramp, and Big C Lumber supplied all of the wood and other supplies for the ramp to be built.
