A ramp for Carlo: volunteers and tools needed
Help Carlo regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇵🇭 Metro Manila, Philippines458 views
Carlo has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Carlo 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 local accessibility standard of 1:12 slope, 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 Carlo's family will cook lunch for the team.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope things get better soon. Wishing Carlo a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Please keep us posted. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out
Thinking of you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
Stay strong, Isabel. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Quezon City.
Hope it all works out. Wishing Carlo a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Thinking of Quezon City.
Praying for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in El Paso donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Quezon City.
Thinking of you and your family. Wishing Carlo a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Good luck, Isabel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Quezon City.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Moscow so I could bring a meal. All the best
Best of luck. Get well soon. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
