Brielle can't leave home - help build a ramp
Brielle uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇺🇸 Boston, Massachusetts, United States832 views
Brielle has used a wheelchair since 2020, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Brielle 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Brielle's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you for reading my story.

Take care, Liam. Hope you get there. I hope January is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Kawasaki.
