A ramp for Felipe: volunteers and tools needed
Help Felipe regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, Brazil767 views
Felipe has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Felipe 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 Felipe's family will cook lunch for the team.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing you the best, Lorena. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 3 people at work.
Thinking of you and your family, Lorena. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
