Lelia Workman, 59,
needs some assistance to
upgrade her home to make
it more handicapped acces-
sible. Workman is deaf and
a quadriplegic and lives in
a rental home in Heppner.
Area residents have started
a GoFundMe campaign
to help with the expenses
involved in doing the neces- Lelia Workman
sary upgrades.
Workman was born with her hearing, but at age
three her parents beat her until she lost her hearing. She
lived in 38 foster homes in her lifetime, where at age 14
she climbed a tree and fell which caused her to become
quadriplegic. Three years ago she lost her husband of 27
years and she has no family support. She volunteers her
time teaching sign language in the community and can
be seen traveling around town in her power wheelchair.
Repairs to be done to her home include replacing
her ramp and paving from the ramp to the street, adding
better locks and outside lighting, fixing drywall, building
shelving for her medications and possibly turning her
bathroom into one that is handicapped accessible with a
shower or walk-in tub.
Sweet Productions Restaurant and Bakery, as well as
other area businesses, have set up donation jars. During
the Heppner Dance Troupe Christmas recital, donations
will be accepted rather than charging for admission. Danc-
ers will also be seen around town in Christmas costumes
collecting donations.
For those wishing to donate, the GoFundMe
campaign can be accessed at https://www.go-
