A ramp for Natália: volunteers and tools needed
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Santarém.
🇧🇷 Santarém, Pará, BrazilPosted Oct 1, 20261,164 views
Natália has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Natália 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 Natália's family will cook lunch for the team.
I hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you, Sandra. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Latina but we're thinking of you
I hope things turn around soon. After 14 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
Keep going, Sandra. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care
hang in there. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Kozhikode
Good luck. Hope you get there. All the best.

Wishing you the best. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
Hang in there, Sandra. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
