A ramp for Leila: volunteers and tools needed
Help Leila regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇨🇦 Ottawa, Ontario, Canada1,047 views
Leila has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Leila 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 Leila's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.

I hope things turn around soon. After 16 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
Sending strength, Hadi. Get well soon. God bless

Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Cologne but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Cologne.
Rooting for you, Hadi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Ottawa.

Sending love, Hadi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Juazeiro do Norte this morning. Love from Juazeiro do Norte.
Rooting for you, Hadi. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Wishing you peace. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. It's not much but it's yours.
