A ramp for Cora: volunteers and tools needed
Cora uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Cora has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Cora 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Cora's family will cook lunch for the team.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Stay strong, Aubree. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Chiang Mai.
