A ramp for Raymond: volunteers and tools needed

Raymond uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Raymond has used a wheelchair since 2021, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Raymond 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 Raymond's family will cook lunch for the team. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

      Take care, Paisley. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Savannah so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Tiruchirappalli
