Build a wheelchair ramp for Cláudio in Feira de Santana
Help Cláudio regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇧🇷 Bahia, Brazil466 views
Cláudio has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Cláudio 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 Cláudio's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Stay strong, Natália. 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
