🚨 CHERAW, WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY! 🚨
I'm organizing a community accessibility walk-through of downtown Cheraw, and I'm looking for people who know firsthand what it's like to navigate our little town when your legs, wheels, balance, or body don't always cooperate.
The plan:
We're going downtown to identify and document accessibility barriers, including sidewalks, curb ramps, crosswalks, parking spaces, and business entrances.
I want to hear from YOU if you: ♿ Use a wheelchair or mobility scooter. 🦯 Use a cane, walker, or other mobility aid. 🚶 Have difficulty walking, balancing, or navigating uneven surfaces. ❤️ Have another disability that makes accessing downtown challenging.
Caregivers, family members, and concerned citizens are welcome.
The mission:
Identify exactly WHERE the problems are, WHAT makes them inaccessible, and HOW they affect real people.
Our findings will be compiled into something that can be presented to the appropriate people.
You don't have to complete the entire walk-through to participate. If there's a particular location you struggle with, I want to know about it.
Accessibility shouldn't be a luxury, and no one should have to risk life, limb, or a perfectly good hip to enjoy downtown Cheraw.
📍 Location: Downtown Cheraw, SC
📅 Date and time: TBD
👇 COMMENT BELOW or MESSAGE ME if you'd like to participate. Tell me about the accessibility challenges you've encountered downtown.
Let's identify the problems, document the facts, and work toward a downtown that EVERYONE can enjoy.
After all, we're supposed to be a walkable town. Some of us would just like the option to roll. ♿❤️
