There is a donated stairlift available. If you could use it, please fill out this form and send it to the GBC office. It's a Sterling Stairlift made in 2004. The lift covers twelve steps; the rail is straight with no curves and is mounted on the left side of the staircase if you're facing up. At the top of the rail, the chair rotates to the left so that the rider can get off facing the hallway,
not over the stairs themselves.
