A ramp for Jonathan: volunteers and tools needed
Help Jonathan regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom1,581 views
Jonathan has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Jonathan 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 Jonathan's family will cook lunch for the team.
I hope life is good to you.

Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
Wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Shreveport.
Keep going, Ximena. Shared this with my family. God bless.
