A ramp for Courtney: volunteers and tools needed

Courtney uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Courtney has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Courtney 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 ten hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Courtney's family will cook lunch for the team. Thank you so much.

    Wishing you the best, Allison. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier!

        Take care, Allison. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Aurangabad!

            Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Ekurhuleni donated after I showed her your page. Love from Ekurhuleni.
