Build a wheelchair ramp for Angelo in Makati
Angelo uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇵🇭 Metro Manila, Philippines877 views
Angelo has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Angelo 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 local accessibility standard of 1:12 slope, which is why a person with building experience is important. We estimate twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Angelo's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

Rooting for you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 23 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Tucson
