Build a wheelchair ramp for Beatriz in Zapopan

Beatriz uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Beatriz has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Beatriz 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 Beatriz's family will cook lunch for the team. Thank you so much.

  • Rooting for you, Ram贸n. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best

      Wishing you peace, Ram贸n. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
