On their off time, the deputies dismantled her old ramp and then built her a new one.

The project was led by Deputy Mark McGowan and the entire Bravo Alpha shift chipped in to make quick work of the ramp, sheriff’s department officials said in a Facebook post.

The materials were donated by Ability1st, a United Way Agency, and even the pickup of supplies was done by the Leon County Public Works Department.

The woman said she “never would have expected this.”
