A ramp for Danica: volunteers and tools needed
Danica uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇵🇭 Metro Manila, Philippines742 views
Danica has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Danica 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Danica's family will cook lunch for the team.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hang in there, Fernando. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Manila
Best of luck, Fernando. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Mississauga
Thinking of you, Fernando. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings.
Keep going, Fernando. Hope this works out for you. Take care.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Manila.
