Build a wheelchair ramp for Aarón in Coyoacán
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Coyoacán.

Aarón has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Aarón 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 Aarón's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.

Hope you get there. Greetings from Mumbai
you're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
thinking of you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Luis. Wishing Aarón a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We're a small family in Riverside but we're thinking of you. Take care.
