A ramp for Denise: volunteers and tools needed

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

Denise has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Denise 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 eight hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Denise's family will cook lunch for the team. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

      Hope things get better soon. Hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

            praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 6 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
