Brigitte can't leave home - help build a ramp
Brigitte uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇫🇷 Saint-Denis, Île-de-France, France1,122 views
Brigitte has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Brigitte 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Brigitte's family will cook lunch for the team.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

looking forward to the next update. After 29 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything
take care, Geneviève. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Sending good thoughts. Get well soon. Love from Faisalabad.
