A ramp for Cathal: volunteers and tools needed
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Dublin.

Cathal has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Cathal 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 Cathal's family will cook lunch for the team.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

wishing you peace. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. God bless.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Jacksonville.
