A ramp for Lia: volunteers and tools needed

Lia uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Lia has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Lia 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 six hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Lia's family will cook lunch for the team. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Kelowna this morning

      Hope things get better soon. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Jodhpur so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Yogyakarta.

        hang in there, Mega. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out.

          Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
