Build a wheelchair ramp for Donatella in Latina
Donatella uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇮🇹 Latina, Lazio, Italy336 views
Donatella has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Donatella 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 building-code slope requirement, 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 Donatella's family will cook lunch for the team.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

best of luck, Giovanna. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Quezon City but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Best of luck. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Latina.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected!
So sorry you're going through this, Giovanna. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care
Hope it all works out, Giovanna. Gave what I could, wish it was more
