Build a wheelchair ramp for Guadalupe in Alcalá de Henares
Help Guadalupe regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇪🇸 Alcalá de Henares, Madrid, Spain908 views
Guadalupe has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Guadalupe 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 accessibility guideline for gradient, 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 Guadalupe's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope things get better soon, Susana. Wishing Guadalupe a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Sending good thoughts. Hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Wishing you peace, Susana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
Rooting for you, Susana. Hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor in La Plata donated after I showed her your page. All the best!
