Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in San Miguel de Tucumán.

Inés has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Inés 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 Inés's family will cook lunch for the team.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you the best, Itzel. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side
rooting for you. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of San Miguel de Tucumán.
