A ramp for Julia: volunteers and tools needed
Help Julia regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇨🇦 Ontario, Canada698 views
Julia has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Julia 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Julia's family will cook lunch for the team.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Toronto.
Thinking of you and your family. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too
