Build a wheelchair ramp for Beatrice in Entebbe

Help Beatrice regain independence: a simple ramp build.

Entebbe
Beatrice has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Beatrice 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 eight hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Beatrice's family will cook lunch for the team. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Outstanding person

    This helper is honest and transparent about what they can do. They didn't overpromise, but they did deliver excellent results. I would definitely trust them again.
