Protecting Victoria's Children
Victoria is 34 and lives in the River Bend neighborhood with her two children. Both children have disabilities and love to play outside, but they live right next to a drainage ditch that they frequently try to get into and a main road with cars speeding by. Their old fence was too short and did not go around the entire yard which lead to the children climbing over it to get to the drainage ditch and sometimes strangers passing through her yard to drink and do drugs near the drainage ditch. These issues were big safety risks to Victoria and her children.
A great group of volunteers from the State Bar of Wisconsin Construction and Public Contract Law Section signed up to tackle this project and they did a great job. By installing a higher and sturdier fence around the entire yard, Victoria has peace of mind letting her children play outside and her children are safe from the hazards of the drainage ditch, the road, and the strangers that used to pass through her yard.
