Build a wheelchair ramp for Elena in Santa Fe
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Santa Fe.
🇦🇷 Santa Fe, Santa Fe, Argentina991 views
Elena has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Elena 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 Elena's family will cook lunch for the team.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending strength, Víctor. Get well soon. God bless.
Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Santa Fe.
wishing Elena a smooth procedure and a full recovery. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
