Thank you again everyone for your support. This blog entry is by my good friend David Zupan. He is a videographer,  and you must see this short video online. The famous group Habitat for Humanity has a special initiative that can help people with disabilities. My friend Sue Barnhart told us about it, and my brother Tony did a lot of the sweat equity that is required.

Many people helped out with a hammer or food. The result is a beautiful deck and ramp that helps me enjoy our wild backyard, and with Debra I know I am home!

“A Deck for David” is a video is about David Oaks getting free to enjoy being outside in his backyard. David is a long-time (40 years) activist for human rights in the mental health system. After suffering a spinal cord injury on December 2, 2012, David spent months in rehabilitation at the famous Craig Hospital in Colorado before returning home over a year ago.

The brief film describes the major impact of a backyard deck and ramp built for David by Habitat for Humanity Brush of Kindness program. We hope you enjoy it and consider donating to the David W. Oaks Trust so that he and Debra can continue their activism and independent living.
