Anna can't leave home - help build a ramp
Anna uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇮🇹 Padua, Veneto, Italy1,628 views
Anna has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Anna 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 accessibility guideline for gradient, 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 Anna's family will cook lunch for the team.
I hope life is good to you.

Thanks for sharing this, Riccardo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Wishing you the best. Wishing Anna a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
