A ramp for Claudia: volunteers and tools needed
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Oaxaca de Juárez.
🇲🇽 Oaxaca de Juárez, Oaxaca, Mexico340 views
Claudia has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Claudia 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 Claudia's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope things get better soon, Héctor. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Thanks for sharing this, Héctor. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We're a small family in Busan but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Busan.
