Anele has used a wheelchair since 2021, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Anele can only go outside when two neighbors are available to lift the chair. The materials (treated timber, screws and non-slip surface) have been donated by a local lumberyard. We need a carpenter or two to measure, cut and build, plus a helper or two. The ramp has to meet the building-code slope requirement, which is why a person with building experience is important. We estimate ten hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Anele's family will cook lunch for the team. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

  • Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Mar del Plata donated after I showed her your page

    • you're not alone. Wishing Anele a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Puebla so I could bring a meal. God bless
