Build a wheelchair ramp for Ana in Vitória da Conquista
Help Ana regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇧🇷 Bahia, Brazil639 views
Ana has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Ana 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Ana's family will cook lunch for the team.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Good luck, Pedro. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
