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

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

Hope things get better soon, Dominique. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.
keep going, Dominique. Wishing Simone a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Sent it to 3 people at work.
Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Prayagraj
Keep going, Dominique. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Abuja so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Nice.
Thanks for sharing this, Dominique. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care
keep going, Dominique. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Thinking of you, Dominique. Get well soon. After 11 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Nice!
Thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 26 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from S茫o Paulo.
Hope it all works out, Dominique. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Rooting for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Put this on a community board in Krak贸w this morning.
wishing you peace, Dominique. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
Sending strength, Dominique. Hope the doctors have good news.
