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

Cristiane has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Cristiane 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Cristiane's family will cook lunch for the team.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Guarulhos
