Build a wheelchair ramp for Amelia in Parramatta
Help Amelia regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇦🇺 New South Wales, Australia1,066 views
Amelia has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Amelia 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Amelia's family will cook lunch for the team.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
