Build a wheelchair ramp for Joshua in Toronto
Help Joshua regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇨🇦 Ontario, Canada1,161 views
Joshua has used a wheelchair since 2024, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Joshua 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 Joshua's family will cook lunch for the team.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Toronto.
