Antonio can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Bologna.
🇮🇹 Bologna, Emilia-Romagna, Italy736 views
Antonio has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Antonio 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Antonio's family will cook lunch for the team.
I hope life is good to you.
