LUIS GONZALEZ-BUNSTER SUPERIOR COURT
Plaintiff,
v. JUDICIAL DISTRICT OF STAMFORD/
NORWALK

YOUNG MEN’S CHRISTIAN AT STAMFORD
ASSOCIATION OF GREENWICH,
TOWN OF GREENWICH NOVEMBER 7, 2008
Defendants.



AFFIDAVIT OF LUIS GONZALEZ-BUNSTER

The undersigned, Luis Gonzalez-Bunster, being first duly sworn on oath, deposes and states:
1. I am of legal majority, have first hand knowledge of the facts contained herein and could competently testify thereto if called as a witness.
2. I currently reside at 6 Doubling Road, Greenwich, Connecticut.
3. I would like to become a member of the Greenwich Family YMCA located at 50 East Putnam Avenue, Greenwich, Connecticut 06830.
4. Since 1994, I have been permanently paralyzed from the chest down and have been confined to a wheelchair.
5. In October 2008, I attempted to gain access to the YMCA facility in Greenwich and was unable to enter the building because there are no wheelchair ramps.
6. Water exercise is an essential form of exercise for me. My ability to exercise in other ways is severely limited and water exercise is necessary for me to maintain my physical and emotional well-being.
7. I have made requests of the YMCA for construction of a wheelchair ramp, but have been informed that a temporary ramp is not possible and that a permanent ramp will not be completed until late 2009, at the earliest.
8. The construction of a temporary wheelchair ramp is necessary for me, and others similarly situated, to gain access to the YMCA.
