Adam can't leave home - help build a ramp
Help Adam regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇫🇷 Paris, Île-de-France, France1,078 views
Adam has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Adam 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 Adam's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.

Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
Thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Paris
Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted
Rooting for you, Raphaël. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Thinking of you, Raphaël. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Hồ Chí Minh City but we're thinking of you.
