A ramp for Sebastião: volunteers and tools needed
Sebastião uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇧🇷 Feira de Santana, Bahia, Brazil1,297 views
Sebastião has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Sebastião 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 Sebastião's family will cook lunch for the team.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Take care, Bianca. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.

I hope things turn around soon. After 20 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from San Jose
