Build a wheelchair ramp for Daniel in Rio de Janeiro
Daniel uses a wheelchair and cannot leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇧🇷 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil1,025 views
Daniel has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Daniel 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 Daniel's family will cook lunch for the team.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Good luck, Samuel. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
