A ramp for Irene: volunteers and tools needed
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Zapopan.

Irene has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Irene 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 Irene's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.

so sorry you're going through this, Gabriela. Hope this works out for you.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Chattogram this morning. Take care.
thinking of you, Gabriela. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest
Thinking of you, Gabriela. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
thinking of you. Wishing Irene a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
