A ramp for Luciana: volunteers and tools needed

Help Luciana regain independence: a simple ramp build.

Luciana has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Luciana 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 ten hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Luciana's family will cook lunch for the team. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

        get well soon. After 28 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.

          I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
