A ramp for Rafael: volunteers and tools needed
Help Rafael regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇦🇷 Mendoza, Argentina834 views
Rafael has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Rafael 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 Rafael's family will cook lunch for the team.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope things get better soon, Adrián. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Móstoles.
