A ramp for Emer: volunteers and tools needed
Help Emer regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇮🇪 Kilkenny, Leinster, Ireland420 views
Emer has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Emer 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Emer's family will cook lunch for the team.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Stay strong, Brendan. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Arusha so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Brendan. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick
Rooting for you, Brendan. Looking forward to the next update. God bless.
Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Cầu Giấy so I could bring a meal.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Guarulhos so I could bring a meal.
hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. Love from New Delhi.
Thinking of you, Brendan. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
