A ramp for Márcio: volunteers and tools needed
Help Márcio regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇧🇷 Bahia, Brazil752 views
Márcio has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Márcio 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 accessibility guideline for gradient, 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 Márcio's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you for reading my story.

it takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Karachi so I could bring a meal.
Best of luck, Eduardo. Hope this works out for you. Love from Mar del Plata.
