A ramp for Gabriel: volunteers and tools needed
Help Gabriel regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇺🇸 Texas, United States141 views
Gabriel has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Gabriel 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 Gabriel's family will cook lunch for the team.
I hope life is good to you.

rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
Hope this works out for you. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Laredo.
