Build a wheelchair ramp for Amparo in Iztapalapa
Help Amparo regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇲🇽 Ciudad de México, Mexico922 views
Amparo has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Amparo 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Amparo's family will cook lunch for the team.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

sending love, Cristian. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Jaipur this morning. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
rooting for you, Cristian. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
