Build a wheelchair ramp for Fábio in Londrina
Fábio uses a wheelchair and can't leave the house because of three steps at the door; we need a few hours of carpentry.
🇧🇷 Londrina, Paraná, Brazil1,172 views
Fábio has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Fábio 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Fábio's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Praying for you. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Londrina.
Take care, Luiz. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
Looking forward to the next update. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Kyiv.
