A ramp for Ethan: volunteers and tools needed
Help Ethan regain independence: a simple ramp build.
๐บ๐ธ California, United States716 views
Ethan has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Ethan 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 Ethan's family will cook lunch for the team.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
