Build a wheelchair ramp for Inés in Yonkers

Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Yonkers.

Yonkers
Inés has used a wheelchair since 2024, 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 building-code slope requirement, 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 Inés's family will cook lunch for the team. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

      sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.

        Stay strong, Carmen. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Yonkers.
