wheelchair after noticing he got wet while waiting&nbsp;for the school bus in winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Five-year-old Ryder Killam has had to battle rain, wind, and snow for about 15 minutes every day, using only a patio umbrella as protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But after hearing about his problem, local students in Bradford, Rhode Island, got to work and built him his own bus shelter for the bottom of his driveway during their construction lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ryder\u2019s father Tim said, \u201cRyder uses it every day before school and his nurses wait inside it every day while they await his return home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe does like to go hang out in it from time to time as his fort as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis project brought out community together a bit, it showed that there is still so much good in this world and town!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bus Stop Shelter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a
