A ramp for Marisol: volunteers and tools needed
Marisol uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Marisol has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Marisol 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Marisol's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you for reading my story.

hang in there, Iv谩n. Wishing Marisol a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My husband and I read this together. Love from Kazan
Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of C贸rdoba.
