Cecilia has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Cecilia 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 accessibility guideline for gradient, which is why a person with building experience is important. We estimate twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Cecilia's family will cook lunch for the team.

Sending strength, Lovely. Hope this works out for you. Don't give up. Thinking of Makati!
Take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Lapu-Lapu.
Sending love. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Makati.
Good luck, Lovely. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
So sorry you're going through this, Lovely. Wishing Cecilia a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Love from Nottingham.
