A ramp for Gregory: volunteers and tools needed

Gregory uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Gregory has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Gregory 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 twelve hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Gregory's family will cook lunch for the team. I hope life is good to you.

          Wishing you the best, Isaac. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Nagpur so I could bring a meal

            Sending good thoughts, Isaac. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Santa Fe.
