Build a wheelchair ramp for Fabiana in Petrópolis
Help Fabiana regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇧🇷 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil347 views
Fabiana has used a wheelchair since 2022, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Fabiana 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Fabiana's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.
