A ramp for Jean: volunteers and tools needed
Help Jean regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇫🇷 Île-de-France, France1,694 views
Jean has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Jean 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 building-code slope requirement, 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 Jean's family will cook lunch for the team.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope things get better soon, Arthur. Shared this with my family. Blessings.
Good luck, Arthur. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Thinking of you and your family, Arthur. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Seoul this morning. All the best.
thanks for sharing this, Arthur. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 8 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Wishing you the best, Arthur. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
