Build a wheelchair ramp for Declan in Glasgow
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Glasgow.
🇬🇧 Scotland, United Kingdom1,205 views
Declan has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Declan 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 six hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Declan's family will cook lunch for the team.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Take care, Kai. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Gazipur
