On an on-going basis , the Foundation provides food to those in need .
Securing a beach on the island so people with disabilities can use it for therapy has been an 11 year lengthy discussion with the Government , according to Ringo . A beach has not yet been secured and to date , there are no accessible beaches designated for their use . The organization is also trying to purchase an abandoned building from the Government which they can restore themselves to use as a Rehab Center for people with disabilities . So far , Ringo said the response from Government has been , “ no ”.
Ringo is of the passionate opinion that those in authority need to give more attention to improving the lives of people with disabilities in Curacao , but while his frustration with the authorities continue , he and his team are forging ahead with the projects they identify and can complete themselves .
In the homes of many disabled people on the island , shower grab bars are lacking . Ringo and his team are trying to purchase and install these in as many homes as they can . Assistance in obtaining grab bars is welcomed and any donation to assist with their work overall will be appreciated .
