Alberto can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Ciudad de México.
🇲🇽 Ciudad de México, Mexico588 views
Alberto has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Alberto 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 Alberto's family will cook lunch for the team.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

take care, Amparo. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Bogra.
Hang in there. Hope the doctors have good news. I hope November is when things finally get easier. God bless.
Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Thane.
Wishing you peace. Wishing Alberto a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor in Nairobi donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
