Next Day Access Memphis recently connected with an injured School Resource Officer (SRO) and donated a wheelchair ramp during his recovery.

Rick Singletary of Brighton, TN worked as a police officer for twenty-two years, but his current job at Atoka Elementary School has surprised him the most. “The kids ask all kinds of questions,” Rick remarked. “They love going in for hugs or fist bumps, and the parents show a lot of appreciation.” Each morning, he is at the front of the school helping unload the buses, greeting parents and students, and ensuring a safe school environment.

The Monday following Spring Break, the day began just like any other until Rick heard a frantic voice over the radio. A child who had been known to elope was running into the street, outpacing many of the teachers in the vicinity. Even worse, the flashing school zone signs had not been turned on after Spring Break, so cars were going the regular speed limit. Rick didn’t think twice; he immediately sprang into action, catching up with the child nearly fifty yards out just before he made his way into the busy street. The child spun around and went straight towards the road. “All I had left to do was dive and grab his feet,” Rick recalls, and that’s exactly how the fiasco ended. After getting up off the ground, Rick noticed some pain in his leg. “I took some ibuprofen like my wife suggested and went about my day. The next day, I woke up and my leg was nearly black.” Luckily, the student was uninjured.

Rick’s kneecap was broken, and his mobility was greatly limited throughout his home. When his wife struggled to get him out of the house during a storm, he knew he needed to find a temporary solution. “It’s not about me, but it’s about making it easy for her,” Rick said of his wife, who he’s been with for 37 years. “She’s doing so much for me.” Moved by his fearless actions, Next Day Access Memphis was more than happy to donate a temporary wheelchair ramp while Rick recovers.

“When I heard the story of Rick Singletary’s injury due to his heroic act, I was moved,” Greg Inman, Director of Franchise Operations, states. “We don’t hear these stories of bravery every day. We at Next Day Access Memphis didn’t think twice about providing him with a wheelchair ramp during his recovery. We need more people like officer Rick Singletary!”

In his recovery time, he enjoys spending time with his family and his two dogs, Snelly and Fluffy. When asked what he is most excited for when he’s better, Rick immediately responded with, “I want to get back to work. I miss those kids so much.”

ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO, UNITED STATES, julio 1, 2024 – Next Day Access is expanding their coverage of the state of Colorado with the South Denver location of the franchise.

Next Day Access South Denver’s opening date is on Monday, julio 1, spearheaded by Jim and Renee Carrick, partners in business and in life.

“I reached what I’ll call an event horizon,” Jim states. After leaving his previous job, he began to wonder what was next. In conversation with his neighbor, who Jim praised for his constant encouragement, he first entertained the idea of owning his own business. “Joe said, ‘You know, Jim you can do anything. You could have your own business if you wanted to.’ And I told him, ‘Joe, that’s a good idea.’” With his extensive experience in leadership and solutions sales engineering, Jim knew this was, indeed, a good idea, and he knew who he would work with to make this come to fruition.

Renee Carrick is a medical policy implementation projects expert. Along with assessing, planning, monitoring, and reporting the projects, she identifies problems and troubleshoots until the final product is both effective and efficient. Together, the duo is passionate about empowering customers to fully enjoy their homes through a wide range of products and services that enhance freedom and independence.

RALEIGH/DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA, UNITED STATES, mayo 13, 2024 – Next Day Access is proud to announce the opening of the Next Day Access Raleigh/Durham, NC franchise location.

Next Day Access is expanding to two locations in North Carolina. Rob Williams and Jason Williamson are the owners of Next Day Access Raleigh/Durham, NC, serving the Triangle area.

Rob began his career in general contracting, which he has done for 32 years, and he has worked in real estate for 21 years. His understanding of the accessibility world grew as he began modifying his father’s home. While he was living independently, Rob’s father relied heavily on the accessibility devices Rob installed, such as grab bars and wheelchair ramps. Doing this fulfilling work helped Rob realize that this was a business in which he wanted to invest, and he knew who he wanted to partner with to begin this journey.

Jason Williamson is a Gulf War veteran, and his work in real estate spans over 25 years, and he owns and operates the nonprofit Williamson Resource Foundation, which partners with local VA chapters to educate the public on financial literacy and helps unhoused individuals. As a disabled veteran himself, Jason empathizes with those who were injured in action, so it made perfect sense for him to partner with Rob in opening a Next Day Access franchise location. They are joined by Jason Williamson II, their technician, Brook Williams, Rob’s wife, and other employees.
