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

Cris has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Cris 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Cris's family will cook lunch for the team.
Glad we found this place.

Wishing you peace. Hope you get there. After 26 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Rome.
Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Takoradi this morning. All the best.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Fortaleza
you're not alone, Samuel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
hope this works out for you. Love from Rome
Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Austin.
Good luck, Samuel. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
Keep going, Samuel. Hope you get there. Thinking of Quezon City

you're not alone, Samuel. Shared this with my family. Love from Colombo
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Quezon City
Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Anaheim but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Quezon City.
