Build a wheelchair ramp for Gabriella in Birmingham
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Birmingham.
🇬🇧 Birmingham, England, United Kingdom1,104 views
Gabriella has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Gabriella 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 eight hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Gabriella's family will cook lunch for the team.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Birmingham.
Keep going. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Birmingham!
Thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Manila this morning.
