A ramp for Rahma: volunteers and tools needed
Help Rahma regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇪🇸 Valencian Community, Spain1,649 views
Rahma has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Rahma 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 building-code slope requirement, 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 Rahma's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thanks for being kind about this.

thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
