A ramp for Walker: volunteers and tools needed
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Auckland.
🇳🇿 Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand1,020 views
Walker has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Walker 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Walker's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thanks for being kind about this.

So sorry you're going through this. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Auckland.
Keep going, Santiago. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Madurai this morning.
Good luck, Santiago. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
