On a bright Friday in May, a small crew from the Rotary Club of Del Sol spent the morning building something deceptively simple: a ramp. By the end of the day, two women who rely on walkers could get in and out of their home safely — something most of us never think about until a single step becomes a wall.

The build was part of Rotary District 5520's Epic Day of Service, and it happened in partnership with New Mexico Ramps, a local organization run by Del Sol club member Greg Hallstrom. That partnership is what turns a one-day volunteer effort into something durable: New Mexico Ramps brings the expertise and materials, and Rotary brings the hands.

This particular project had no shortage of hands. The crew included Bruce, Jerry, David, Kaleigh, and — in a small coincidence that kept roll call interesting — not one but two volunteers named Brad. Several brought reinforcements: Bruce brought one of the Brads, the other Brad brought a friend, and Kaleigh brought her dad. It's a small detail, but a telling one — service tends to multiply when people invite the folks they care about to come along.
