A ramp for Guadalupe: volunteers and tools needed
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Rosario.
🇦🇷 Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina948 views
Guadalupe has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Guadalupe 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 Guadalupe's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.
