A ramp for Annabelle: volunteers and tools needed
Help Annabelle regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇺🇸 North Carolina, United States438 views
Annabelle has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Annabelle 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Annabelle's family will cook lunch for the team.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Take care, Samantha. Wishing Annabelle a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Pasig!
You're not alone, Samantha. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
