Help team THRIVE build Rons house this year

Project THRIVE (formerly Ramboland) is a disability housing project with focus on community benefit and education oriented green accessibility features.
Ron Rambo is a Lancaster Pa local living with cerebral palsy. He currently resides on E Chestnut St. in a cramped apartment and has not had accessibility to his bathroom to shower or use a toilet in over ten years. His accommodations here fail to suit his needs as a disabled person living semi independently. The lack of suitable and affordable Housing for people with disabilities is a growing crisis that will end in massive strain on nursing facilities, take a huge toll on the quality of life, and even risk the lives of the population in need.
 Recognizing that his situation was not unique, Ron and one of his previous aides began brainstorming how they could address this issue while also tackling the lack of environmentally sustainable options for people living with disabilities. Ron emphasized the importance of giving back to the community and creating something sustainable and accessible. With these core values in mind they reached out to Max Zanheiser. Max is the founder of NEXUS; a Philadelphia based networking organization focused on bringing together and assisting the growth of environmental and social justice related projects. With Max at the helm, Rons ideas came to fruition with the proposal of a groundbreaking project; One that would bring solution to Rons direct needs while creating an educational, fully sustainable, and accessible housing model that could potentially change the lives of many disabled Americans..  Project THRIVE (formerly known as Rambolond) stands for Transformative Habitation for Regenerative, Inclusive, and Vital Ecosystems. This acronym accurately expresses the initiative of the project in compact form. Over the past few years Max and Ron have formed an incredible team of environmental visionaries who are working tirelessly in their own free time to bring this project to life. The core team of architects and designers meet weekly with Ron and Max to discuss their individual progress on the project. After years of hard work permits are being approved and the team is gearing up to start building. Ron is hoping to move within the next year. To get the project off the ground, project THRIVE will rely solely on community and grant funding. We are now reaching out to source such funding from the community. The house will be located on Mifflin St. on the southeast side of Lancaster City. We believe it will bring many benefits to the neighborhood and our city. Our innovative project will greatly Impact the future of environmental sustainability, accessible housing, and education.
