School bus driver builds wheelchair ramp for 10-year-old girl on his route Thomas Mitchell is a school bus mechanic in Clarksville, Tennessee, but he occasionally fills in as a driver. On his route one day he noticed a 10-year-old girl named Lydia, whose mom was struggling to help her get her wheelchair up and down a ramp outside their home. Courtesy of Thomas and Jennifer Mitchell “The ramp they were using was like a temporary aluminum ramp, like a folding ramp,” Mitchell told TODAY.
“It didn’t go all the way to the top step.” Mitchell had an idea. He remembered having seen organizations that help people with these types of projects, so he took it upon himself to call a few of them to explain the situation. Unfortunately, due to tight budgets, a new ramp wasn’t going to be a possibility ... not without their help, it seemed. But Mitchell was determined. “I decided to call Lowe's to see if they would help,” explained Mitchell. “I got to the manager, David Adams ... he didn’t even bat an eye, he just asked me to get a list together.” RELATED: Mailman builds ramp for aging dog so they can continue their sweet daily greeting After picking up his supplies, Mitchell reached out to some friends who were more than excited to pitch in.
