A ramp for Ruby: volunteers and tools needed
Help Ruby regain independence: a simple ramp build.
๐บ๐ธ New York, United States214 views
Ruby has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Ruby 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Ruby's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.

Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Pasig.
