Build a wheelchair ramp for Elias in Austin

Help Elias regain independence: a simple ramp build.

Austin
Elias has used a wheelchair since 2021, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Elias 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 twelve hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Elias's family will cook lunch for the team. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
