A ramp for Quinn: volunteers and tools needed
Quinn uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇨🇦 Quebec, Canada750 views
Quinn has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Quinn 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 Quinn's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you for reading my story.

So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Sherbrooke.
good luck, Luna. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Praying for you, Luna. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Blessings
