Thanks to a ramp donated by the Home Builders Foundation, Jake Levin, who has muscular dystrophy and uses a wheelchair, was able to enter the house for the first time without any assistance from his brothers.
As the new school year begins for University of Colorado Boulder students, so do the parties and other social events.
The new ramp was installed at the Phi Gamma Delta house in Boulder by a company the Home Builders Foundation hired, said Mark Rice, a former member of the fraternity at CU Boulder and a volunteer with the foundation. “I am really proud of these undergraduate students, and I can’t say enough about the Home Builders Foundation,” Rice said.
Levin, who will be a sophomore at CU Boulder this year, said he heard about Phi Gamma Delta through a friend prior to joining and wanted to make more friends on campus. Until Levin joined the fraternity, Crist said he hadn’t recognized the accessibility gap at many off-campus houses in Boulder.
