A ramp for Hélène: volunteers and tools needed
Help Hélène regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇫🇷 Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France1,668 views
Hélène has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Hélène 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Hélène's family will cook lunch for the team.
I hope life is good to you.

Thanks for sharing this, Marc. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
