Build a wheelchair ramp for Andrea in Veracruz
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Veracruz.
🇲🇽 Veracruz, Mexico573 views
Andrea has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Andrea 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 Andrea's family will cook lunch for the team.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor in Hồ Chà Minh City donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
