Build a wheelchair ramp for Carmela in Bacolod
Carmela uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.

Carmela has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Carmela 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Carmela's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

take care. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Camille. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Heliopolis.
Sending strength, Camille. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Rooting for you, Camille. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 19 people at work.
Best of luck, Camille. Hope you get there. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Stay strong, Camille. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Shinjuku!
Best of luck, Camille. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings
Praying for you, Camille. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Thinking of you and your family, Camille. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor in Ottawa donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
