Build a wheelchair ramp for Hudson in Derry
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Derry.

Hudson has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Hudson 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 twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Hudson's family will cook lunch for the team.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hang in there, Carol. Wishing Hudson a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Greetings from Kano.
keep going, Carol. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
You're not alone, Carol. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Derry.
