A ramp for Ronaldo: volunteers and tools needed
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Campinas.

Ronaldo has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Ronaldo 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Ronaldo's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you for reading my story.

You're not alone, Ana. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Campinas
Thanks for sharing this, Ana. Hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Hang in there, Ana. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Take care.

Praying for you, Ana. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Thinking of you, Ana. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Enugu.
