A ramp for Donna: volunteers and tools needed
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in London.

Donna has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Donna 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Donna's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.

rooting for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't give up. Greetings from Bekasi
Stay strong, Courtney. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Jodhpur this morning
Wishing you peace, Courtney. Your post was clear and honest. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
