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

Dua has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Dua 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 Dua's family will cook lunch for the team.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Rooting for you, Nida. Shared this with my family
It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Makati
Thanks for sharing this, Nida. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope the doctors have good news. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
