Guo has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Guo 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 ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Guo's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you so much.

Take care. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
