The family was recently told the United Way found a donor willing to fit Ameah for a pediatric wheelchair. In Ironton, Trufant Salvant’s house is one of only about eight in her neighborhood not swamped by Ida’s floodwaters. He said the most painful part was gutting his daughter’s nursery, which he had just finished putting together before Ida hit. “Some people don’t even have a house anymore.”Despite the extended hardships wrought by the storm, Trufant Salvant said she can’t envision living anywhere else.
